'#Hamletemergingwriter' by Karen Walker


The prince bleats, 'To be, or not to be' and everyone rebleats though there's blood on Hamlet's sheepish hands, but not one red pinging heart actually cares, asks what's up — what's  got ya goat? — or suggests resources because, OMG, just give him a quill, get him an agent, and suddenly Hamlet is dusting and steam cleaning the castle's red-stained rugs ahead of this weekend's six-word intensive writing retreat: 1500 krone per night, double occupancy with  buffet breakfast, ghosts, and break-out groups!
