Save to Drafts, Vols. 1-2


Beginning at the turn of the new year, we asked our readers to submit screen grabs of their drafts. Anything from grocery lists saved in their Notes app to tweets and texts they never sent were on the table. You did not disappoint.

We had a theory, you see, after our Dec. 2020 book club meeting, that despite how common it is to “post through it,” it’s the posts we didn’t send or share that might actually say the most about us — and each other. It’s only been a couple weeks, but we’re pretty sure we were right.

We’re sharing a handful of the drafts we’ve received. Our submissions remain open. We hope this project may serve as a reminder for how chaotic our emotions often are, how mind-numbingly funny you might actually be, and, above all else: that you never, ever, ever have to post.
