Update 2024-09-05: The writing club is underway! I’ll keep this post updated to act as a hub for any further WC related materials.

Writing Club posts:

I’ve never been in a writing club but I’m interested in trying to get one going. Would anyone else be interested in giving it a go? I don’t have to lead it, but will do so if no one else wants to.

What I’m picturing:

  • Monthly check-in cadence
  • Everyone sets a personal goal, and then talks about how they did the previous month
  • No pressure other than what you want to take on to motivate you
  • Maybe some “assignments” in the vein of a creative writing class
  • I volunteer to send members reminder DMs to motivate them :)

I was thinking I’d just start with this post - come up with a goal for myself to accomplish by end of June, and then check back sometime in the first week of July. If that sounds interesting to you, feel free to join in and comment with your goal, and any details you want to add.

PS Also very open to writing club discussion meta. I’m new to this so wide open to suggestios, comments, critique, etc.

    The legend returns! Sorry I’m just seeing this now. I 100% I agree with everything you’ve said. As @hazeebabee@slrpnk.net said, luckily things have been cozy and chill enough in the monthly posts, that we haven’t actually needed to enforce any rules.

    I like your idea about the author actually highlighting what they want feedback on. I’ll try to remember to include that in the next monthly post.

    I think it would be nice if we could get even more people giving feedback, even if they aren’t participating in the goals (gods help me, I’m asking for critics lol), but I guess that’s just general community building, and hopefully will come with time.
