I made an offer
to my writing chapter
to host an online workshop
for free
(a way to give back).
No one responded.
I was told a writer
was organizing
a multi-writer series
and desperately needed participants.
I volunteered.
No one responded.
I didn’t chase these offers.
I didn’t send additional messages
(I know the first ones
were received).
I merely moved on.
There are plenty of places
that would FIGHT
to have you as a volunteer.
Think twice
about chasing after opportunities.
