Also, there's typically having to pay for withdrawing from a nonprofit, to avoid things like collecting donations and bowing out.

Codename: Jackass Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) So they found our young, intrepid Bouvre, all ready to kick bubblegum and chew ass, and just left you holding the bag because they didn't really give a shit? And that's your reward for trying to make a positive impact. Super lame, I'm sorry. Edited August 22, 2018 by empty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be willing to toss in a few bucks, actually, if and when that's going to be a thing. I don't have much to spare but as they say, every penny counts. Except when they don't. Because pennies are worthless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codename: Jackass Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hey now, I could walk into a convenience store right now and throw two rolls of pennies on the counter and walk out with a pack of Swisher Sweets. Not that I would do that, because I don't even smoke blunts anymore, but I could. I might do that. Bust the rolls open once the sale is complete just to be a jerkwad if the clerk gives me a dirty look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do mean there's no money in writing, generally, but in this case I'm referring to not only being a non-profit, but a non-profit intent on cultivating a community of writers in a small, non-metropolitan area.

It was like an Aaron Sorkin film, but more depressing. I winced as soon as I read the title. Big and small, writing groups can be so much drama. It's better that someone who cares is running it now, so good luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
