The Write Bridge presents two opposing ideas for creators and readers to delve into-seriously or in fun-in order stretch our imaginations.

In each edition, readers are encouraged to ""mind the gap"" as writers and artists explore topics that broaden our thinking and help us move beyond boundaries.

In a 1936 Esquire article entitled ""The Crack Up,"" author F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote:

""Before I go on with this short history, let me make a general observation-the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise. This philosophy fitted on to my early adult life, when I saw the improbable, the implausible, often the 'impossible, ' come true.""

We hope the themes for The Write Bridge Journal Summer 2025 edition,

Ideals and Illusions, will offer lessons and comic relief on our human shortcomings and aspirations.

Carroll is a writer, educator, graphic designer, and all around cat herder. Her first book, A Wyoming Cowboy in Hitler's Germany combines war era correspondence and 70 year old photographs to depict an age of heroism and innocence. The Tree Who Walked Through Time was published in collaboration with 17 artists, including crop artist Stan Herd. She is also the author of the middle-grade series, Jo and the School's Out Squad. Assistant Editor and Publicist, Amber Fraley is your typical Gen Xer suburban Kansas wife and mom of one who grew up a book nerd in a dysfunctional family and now writes about those experiences as hilarious therapy. She's the author of the humorous essay collection From Kansas, Not Dorothy, and the viral essay ""Gen X Will Not Go Quietly,"" as well as numerous human interest articles. Amber loves Kansas with all her heart, is frequently awkward in public, and desperately wishes to see a tornado and live to tell the tale.
