Are you a writer looking for support?

[amberdreams]

Dear flisties - is anyone looking for some encouragement to help you write every day or meet a deadline? If you'd be interested in joining a small friendly group of fellow writers, set yourself some writing targets and find a bit of support, let me know in the comments. I have one invite to hand out at the moment (there may be more later and other members also have one invite each).

Our group 12mowrimo is recruiting at the moment and we have a limited number of places on offer. Frozen for the moment as we have a few folk expressing an interest!

I'm curious :-)

What do you want to know?

Right, how it works is this - there's a monthly pledge post where we decide what our daily word target will be. Then we post every day against that target. monicawoe is our Stats queen, and she collates all the words and does monthly round ups so we can see how we are doing - both against our targets and generally. People are working on all sorts of projects - from original fic to fanfics in different fandoms.
de_nugis is our glorious leader.

We do have a couple of discussion threads going but they are rather old and mostly people post on the daily threads if they want to chat. Those are frozen afterwards so those chats tend to be short. However, there's no reason why members can't revive or start a new discussion thread (calls for betas, brainstorming, sharing advice/resources etc), and that's another reason we like to have new blood every year.

Let me know if you want to join and I'll put you on the waiting list for now and get back to you in a few days when we've sorted things out.

I now have sufficient invites, so if you decide you are interested, let me know so we can get you an invitation sent.

I'm interested. Thank you!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

YAY!

[gatorgurl94.livejournal.com]

God, yes. That'd be fantastic. Though I interact with other writers in fandom, I often feel as if I'm writing in a vacuum. It makes hard to get motivated.

I've put you on the waiting list! We'll get back to you in a few days when we've sorted ourselves out.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Right! I now have sufficient invites and so you should be hearing from de_nugis shortly!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

apparently you're already a member LOL! Maybe this isn't the comm you're looking for - have you joined quickreaver's writing/arting community over on Discord yet? That might give you something 12mowrimo isn't managing... Invite code is HERE if you're interested.

[gatorgurl94.livejournal.com]

:'D Thanks! I realized that was the case as soon as I saw the member update for 12mowrimo. I will definitely check out the com over on Discord. Thanks for the code!!

I'd love to be part of a small, connected writing group, particularly if it's born from this fandom of strong creative writers. I need motivation and support to actually complete some work in 2018 and post it somewhere that others can see it. *theme from "Jaws" plays in back of my mind*

What kind of time/work commitment would be involved? Would everyone in the group be working on similar projects, or is this more varied? Definitely curious about this opportunity.

Thank you! You're so kind.

Also just found out about the SEASONS anthology on Tumblr (I have an account, but I rarely go there). Is it too late for me to buy a copy? And will there be another anthology in the works?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Oh, i don't know if it's too late, I'll have to check the kickstarter website. I'm guessing so though. I've no idea if they'll do another, I usually miss seeing these things too LOL

Edited to say, yep looks like it's closed now, sorry about that! If you hear of anything similar, let me know! :D
