Each month, HerStry.com looks for themed personal narratives, [the one for November](https://herstryblg.com/thanks-i-guess) caught my eye:

"Let’s talk about things we should be thankful for but just aren’t. Or the things people expected us to be thankful for that we simply think, “Um, what?” Give us the rude, the harsh, the enduring, the funny. The things that made you say, “Thanks, I guess.”

Whether or not you would like to submit to this magazine, it will be a fun exercise to write something to this topic.

1. Between now and February 19, we will each write something inspired by this theme.
2. By February 19\, email your story to \[xtina\.howell@gmail\.com\]\(mailto: xtina\.howell@gmail\.com\) so everyone has time to review it in advance of our meeting\. Christina will share the file location after you have confirmed participation\.
3. By February 26, each person will go through all the entries and comment upon strengths and weaknesses, areas to expand or cut, and other editing suggestions.
4. In this meetup, we will discuss everyone's entries.

* All stories must be true and about you.
* Stories must follow the theme in some way, interpretations can be wide.
* Stories must stay between 500–3,000 words.

HerStry publishes works of women-identifying persons, so if you identify as a man, you will not be able to submit to the magazine, but you're still welcome to participate here.
