Announcement: As we're having trouble with getting enough members for the Writing Circle, it is possible (likely) that the Writing Circle will join with the Book Club, but the Book Club will be tiered, with 'Beginner Sunflowers' and 'Advanced Sunflowers.' You will be the 'Advanced Sunflowers' with comment expectations the same, etc. Rest assured, this change won't happen until the next next weeks or so, and more information will be given.

If you're having trouble understanding some of our terminologies, you can visit the "Glossary" chapter of this book. Comment on this chapter or PM us if you have any questions!
As always, all blooms are due by Sunday, 3:00 pm PT.
