@Elizabeth keep writing 😃 I believe that $500 was the minimum I was allowed to put in that field.
Basically I applied to the ACX grant as a "why not" and that process funneled me to here, where I put together an application as a lark and an opportunity to weave my projects into a coherent whole. I'm not expecting anything but I am trying to get in the habit of putting my work out there & asking for stuff.
