THANK YOU FOR 50 FOLLOWERS!
Hey writers and readers. Welcome to another edition of The Quintessentials. Yes, this is post is two days late! I had a uni exam today and I’ve been all but non-existent for the past few weeks, but now that the exam is out of the way, I’m back. I hope. Mostly. I’m something. Anyway…

If There Was Something You Could Do TO Save My Life, Would You? by Amber Poe— 4 Min Read
If you’re reading this I have some news to share and I might as well make it known to the world because, well, everything is on the internet and while you tell people to keep things a secret or in confidence, something of this magnitude has no lid.
Goodbye To My Wife by Jenny Starr✨ — 4 Min Read
I recently started writing poetry and it’s been a cathartic experience. It seems my heart loves the language of words, how they interplay, weave a story, and invite people to become part of the journey.

Queerly Trans Writing Prompt:
Writing prompt time. You can still submit to any of our previous prompts — simply include the tag WRITING PROMPTS.
Writing Prompt 16/2/22
My invisible queer flavors
This prompt came from a conversation with Logan Silkwood. Heteronormative societal expectations can mean that queer relationships that are seen as ‘straight passing’ are de-queered in the cishet world and even in our own community! But us queerly trans folx have so many queer invisible flavors. So tells us about YOUR invisible flavors of queer. Whatever that means to you.
Review, journal, creative non-fiction, fiction, memoir, choose your style, and have fun.
You do not need to post your story on Queerly Trans but if you do, tag your story with WRITING PROMPTS. If you post it elsewhere, tag QUEERLYTRANS so that I can read it and get all clappy for you!
