Hey there fellow writers!
How are we doing? Making friends? Making money? Making progress on that novel you’ve been meaning to write since 2014? If you aren’t doing any of it yet, you will be after you read this. I’ve got community events, cash prizes, poetry workshops, and the small matter of writing 50,000 words in 30 days for you this week. No big deal. Oh, and if you read till the end, you’ll find some lovely resources from our extended universe and an opportunity to get paid for your personal essays. Let’s get into it!
Free sh!t going on this week
Most of us know how isolating “being a writer” can be: there you are, staring at your draft (or worse, a blank page), wondering how on earth you ever put words together before; your readers (if you have any) are mostly strangers; you take an accidental gulp of day-old coffee on your desk and ask yourself: am I the only one going through this?
Or is it just me? Anyway, here are five places to find your people this week. Some writing, some talking, some parallel play. All free!
