reenkaAnother day, another crazy idea.
They say a 'serious' writer should write something every day, just to get into the flow of things. And I love it when I'm writing consistently-- it makes me feel a bit less like a complete dork (while I'm doing it, anyway). Even if I hate what I end up with, the sense of accomplishment and pleasure I get from merely -writing- is considerable (which is prolly why my lj entries are so wordy). And yet, I'm lazy, so.
It occurred to me that it'd be great to make a community where all the members signed up to post whatever scrap of writing they wanted, as long or short as they wanted-- whether complete, part of a WIP, original fic or fanfic. Anything, as long as it's creative writing, and as long as it's posted as a sort of writer's log.
Post writers' issues, too-- what issues you're having (writer's block-wise) that day, or what plot/characterization tangle's driving you mad at the moment. Maybe someone can help-- or maybe just writing it out can help.
It could be friends-locked so that the public at large didn't see any embarrassing bits or pieces of a WIP. You wouldn't have to put the community on watch-- 'cause the point is to post, not necessarily read to comment. Writer support would be an option.
This won't work if the people who sign up don't write something every day they have any tiny scrap of time-- which should be at least 3-4 days a week if not 7. Joining would basically be a commitment.
Say-- as an experiment, we can have a 'writ-a-thon' for the summer. Try to write something daily-- anything-- for the rest of the summer, and post it as an encouragement to yourself & others.
I realize the interest in this will be small (not to say nonexistent) so I'm not friends locking this, but-- the community would ideally not be huge. But I doubt there'd be that much interest, so.
What say ye?
I'll create it if there's some interest.
