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.
Super good point! Also I don’t know if you saw, but we’ve been doing the writing club in this community. I think there are 3 or 4 of us who have been consistently checking in, but we have had a few people chime in just for the month. I can link to it if you haven’t already seen those posts.
So far it has luckily been a very positive and motivational space :) no one getting weird and nitpicky, mostly just encouraging eachother to keep up with writing
