(Standard) What’s your favorite color? Orange. You could have any car in the world. What is it? Aston Martin. What color is it? Green. What’s your biggest strength? Catching things that are falling. . . . it goes on – however, this piece is for writers.

The Last Coupla Years at 8:46 PM 07 Dec 20 by Elk

(Standard) On Jesus and him having no children: “It’s easy to be good when you have no children” — or, as if justifying something bad, “It isn’t the message of Jesus, but then, . . . it goes on – however, this piece is for writers.

The Workshop

Rooster Land is a private and pseudonymous writing workshop. You're currently located where the writers come to work. A selection of their pieces are elevated to superfeed status and made publicly readable on a rolling basis. You may want to start there. But certainly feel free to look around while you're here, or to open and travel.

Fellow writers may view all content, including replies and revisions, and partake in the discussion. Want to join us? Get a sense for how it works — everything from intellectual property to punctuation — then write The Rooster.
