Welcome to the inaugural writing club update! This is a brand new writing club, first proposed here. I have some ideas about what I want from this club, but where we go from here is open ended.

So feel free to start new posts or spinoffs in between my monthly posts, as long as they jive with the rules in our gracious host community’s sidebar, you have my full support. :)

On to the whole point of this club! The following brave things set to text concrete goals for themselves (linked beside their names, just below). If you’d like to join their number, simply say so in the comments, along with your goal for this month. Okay, here are the stars of our show: 👏👏👏👏

Participants

You don’t have to share any of the actual material you’ve worked on unless you want to (you could even use our local Etherpad to share writing stuff - for example).

Here are some questions to start you off. I’m genuinely interested in your answers, but don’t feel you need to follow my script. This is just a prompt:

  • How do you think you did on your goal(s)?
  • What would you like to accomplish for our next check-in in August?
  • Is there a part of your project that you’d especially like feedback on?
  • Is there anything about this writing club you’d like us to do differently?

No stress if you didn’t accomplish everything you set out to (I fell short and I’m still here hehe). I would love to hear your updates no matter how things went!

I’ll share my own progress in a comment below. What I’m hoping from this step is that we treat this as part check-in, and part conversation. This is your chance to really dig into each others’ projects (and if someone has done so for you, maybe it would be nice to return the favour and take an interest in their own project? ;))

    I don’t think I did! I was just relating how we each seem to have a main project along with a related side project
