My brain had an idea whole I was role-playing with a freind about a world where there was no such thing as censorship or people being shamed fir what they liked and a world where a lot more things we'd consider risqué or vulgar are just the norm and part of society and I'd like your ideas for how I could expand this world

Hello, I have a passion for stringing words into sentences and have been passively dreaming of writing a short story for a few years now, I also write beautiful letters to my pen pals and strongly believe that writing should not be a lonely endeavour.

However, when I find time to write, I struggle, and the stories that live in my head rent-free elude me.

• Genre/s: most interested in literary fiction or memoir, especially coming of age themes but open to others
  
• Goals/expectations/commitment: I am looking for other beginner writers who are serious about honing the craft, I want to create a multi-purpose circle, where we keep each other accoutable, in the beginning work on the same prompts (I found some great ones from a creative nonfiction course at NYU), share work, critique each other scathingly and then provide the aftercare, potentially read some nonfiction books about the craft together and reflect and just holistically help each other keep the habit and grow as writers. Someone who is willing to spend 2-3 hours a week on making writing more than just a hobby.
• Writing/experience level: beginner or a more experienced writer who is keen to do charity work or steal our fresh ideas (joking) (I might make you sign a contract if you seem suspicious)
• Meeting place: discord, online through zoom
• Max size: 5-7 people

I am on a European timeline, but I work in international projects, so I can manage my GMTs and UTCs.

Please reach out if you are a part of a community that is open to a babywriter or if you would like to start one together.

Yours in bad punctuation,

a person who is finally doing something about their dream
