Women on Writing Looking For Submissions
**NOTE: Once again, this post came out all jumbled together, and once again I apologize. It's still readable, just not formatted for some reason (although it is formatted when I'm writing it. It's after I publish my post when the fun begins. Hopefully I'll find out what the problem is soon. Until then, please bare with me.**
