Writing Club

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.

  • So my goal is to have a detailed (enough) map drawn up for the fictional land where my story takes place. Not the whole world, just the immediate area encompassing a midden situated in a mountain range, to a nearby outpost.

    I recently finished reading A Wizard of Earthsea, and the map and the world inspired me to get back to this story I've been mulling around for over a year - and what better start than a map! :D

    As a stretch goal, I would like to connect scenes between two characters: 1) A scavenger of info tech at the middens, to 2) a soldier to a diminishing empire being held captive at the nearby outpost.
