With MythoWriMo, we invite you to join the myth community for a dedicated month of writing so we can all share our process and inspire each other.
When mythologists write together, we lift each other, and our own work grows in the process.

How can you prepare now for MythoWriMo, a mythologist-focused writing group that will run from October 1 to 31, 2025?

Who’s ready for a month of mythic writing? We are!
MythoWriMo, a mythologist-focused writing group, will take place on the Fates and Graces Patreon page October 1-31, 2025. We are so excited to host this virtual space for the myth community to write together, set goals, and encourage each other.
Embark on a mythic writing journey!
In this year’s Fates and Graces MythLit webinars, we saw again and again what a gift it is when mythologists accept the call to adventure to write. We also saw that writing takes endurance, consistency, and discipline.

It's a time of great volatility and opportunity, ie what new ideas might these minds embrace? I experienced something similar when I left the Mormon church ⬇️

That journey continues today—as we fight to ensure that ALL women have access to the ballot box, equal pay, bodily autonomy, and can lead.

My support for law enforcement who defended our Capitol and democracy on January 6th is unwavering. As one of the last Members to be evacuated, I experienced it all. We must honor those who faced down that violent siege, stood in the breach for Liberty, and put their lives on the line that day.

Finally watched @padilla.senate.gov's full speech and am so proud of him, so grateful for his moral clarity, courage, and strength. His example makes it easier for others to embody those values as well. Which is of course why leadership is so important. A true hero 🇺🇸

Because of her tireless fight, Juneteenth is now a federal holiday.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting
