I’ve seen a lot of folks say that writing is lonely. It shouldn’t be. It never has been for me, I’ve always had the opportunity to talk to friends and fellow writers about writing in general and my writing in particular. For at least half my life I’ve had access to doing writing races with friends to get words on paper quickly. For even longer than that, I’ve had folks around willing to offer editing advice to help me learn and grow as a writer.
I felt like maybe there were others out there that could benefit from those kind of resources, but that might not know where to look or might not be able to reach anyone. I don’t know if something like this exists already, but this if so, well, this is my version then.
This Discord is a chat server with various chat channels made for writers to meet other writers and find editors and for editors to meet other editors and find writers. We do writing races often, and discuss writing tricks and lament about writing hardships together. My hope is that it will be used to make new friends and hone skills and maybe find a bit of motivation when we’re feeling alone in our writing.
When you join, you will initially only have access to the welcome chat, until you’ve read the rules and asked for roles (one of which is the Racer role, where you can receive a ping when people are doing writing races). The main server areas are SFW, with a small NSFW channel for discussing 18+ writing/topics.
