About a year ago, I was finishing up my senior year of high school, and as a part of my writing class, I finally wrote and finished a story of decent length. The accountability of that class really helped me get my writing done. I haven’t done much since then, (although largely because of college), and I would love to get some good writing done before I go back to school in the fall, so I wanted to see if anyone else would be interested in participating. (I could do it on my own, but I think it’s more fun to do with a group.)
In my writing class last year, we did it like this: the first assignment was to turn in an outline. Then the teacher assigned us to small groups, based somewhat on what genre people were writing and were interested in reading. Every week, for 8 weeks, we posted a chapter for our group to give feedback on.
Obviously, we don’t have a teacher, and I know not everyone likes to use outlines, so we probably would make that step optional.
So, what does everyone think? Interested? I’m already done with school, but I know college tends to get out earlier, so if other people are still in school and don’t have time yet, we can pick a start date based on that.

📚 Appreciator of BooksThis sounds like a cool idea. I don’t write very orthodox, so I won’t have an outline. (just character outlines). I’m also not sure if I’m sharing my current novels on line for marketing purposes. (They’ll be releasing this summer, starting with the first one later this month)
But I’d sure be willing to breathe down anyone’s neck who wants it, or I can see how you end up setting it up.
I bet @koshka and @elishavet-pidyon might be interested.

I’d be willing to give it a shot. I need to start actually writing again so this could help.

It sounds like a super fun idea! I don’t know if I’ll participate this time, though, since I’m kind of in the middle of my WIP and already have some people critiquing it. Thanks for the invite! Oh, and like Ellette said, if you happen to need some outsiders to
forcehelp people get writing, I could probably do that! 😁"Don't shine so that others can see you. Shine so that through you, others can see Him." ~ C. S.
I will join if other people are interested!

I’ll see if I have time. I have rowing to do, plus I’m looking into getting a job this summer as well as taking the first steps to getting my driver’s permit since I’m turning 16 end of July and would like to get my permit as soon as possible. If I have time, I’d be interested!
Not sure what I’d write yet though…

#AnduthForever (💕)Hmmm. I do want more accountability in my work. I don’t follow a traditional outline in the WIP I decided to focus on for the Summer, but I can get a Chapter/Word outline thingy put together, if that’s wanted.
I am working at a church/Bible college campground for the Summer though, so hours and stuff are gonna be weird. But at the same time, I don’t have as many chores and stuff as if I was at home, just work and housekeeping, so I can set aside actual time to write.
So, how’s this going to work?
A cup of tea is cheaper than therapy.
I was planning on writing my first draft on paper, and not typing or sharing anything until draft two, but if something like this is set up, I may join.
MARCIE! YOU MADE EGG SOUP!
Lolololol. *high five*
