Short stories, rants, posts, blogs, etc.
I’m a big fan of this app. I think this is what folks need to get writing and out of their heads. I love that the minimalism of the app forces you to train your attention on the words. I really hope it never incorporate images, though I think there’s a place for audio because of the audiobook experience and poetry, and lyrics. I’m based in Los Angeles, and host writing camps. I’m building an open source sandbox story world for kids to participate in, notching up my own interest in fanon communities. Nerd culture is squeezed, currently, by the yoke of massive corporations and it’s losing the punk emphasis on decentralization that drove its origins. I think apps like Kestrel can have right some of these wrongs. So I’m going to message the English teachers in my network to use Kestrel to host writing contests. To incentivize the kids, I’ll give away gift cards to the kids with the best stories. But they’ll be posting their stories on Kestrel. Why? Cause I love Kestrel. I would love to see some of the public domain articles culled. I’m here to participate in a community of writers, not peer over the past deeds of the dead.
