The Flash Cabin is hibernating. BUT @stillsquirrel.bsky.social (Anika Carpenter) is still running her monthly ekphrastic writing workshops.

Running The Flash Cabin has been a joy. I’ve worked with brilliant facilitators & fantastic groups of writers. But, it’s time to venture out of the virtual woods & focus on in-person workshops.
I'll still be running my monthly ekphrastic sessions online.
Happy writing :)
