DD Discussion Chat on July 7
June was an awesome month for Daily Deviations in the Literature community - with LitBlitz occurring mid-month, we saw some great discussion as well an additional 21 Lit DDs (give or take) over what we would have in a normal month. In June we also held our second monthly DD Discussion chat event, and now it's time for the third.
Please join us in the CRLiterature chat room this Saturday, July 7 from 10am-1pm Pacific Time - see what that is in your time zone here. We will be discussing a selection of Literature DDs from June; a list of the works that we intend to include can be found below. Please note that the start time is an hour earlier

i like to think you think of me
you didn’t come to the airport.
i didn’t send the postcard. these
are small defeats. easy to swallow,

could have done differently, things that
would have yielded a different outcome.

you didn’t get me flowers. i didn’t remember
your birthday. paper cuts,
not amputations. too insignificant to be
remembered past the day they happened.
blame is a tricky thing. hard to hold in your
hands. the first time you take cough medicine
that hasn’t been sweetened. a bone that breaks
and heals crooked. a load heavy enough
