It’s exciting to share a story idea with someone. Bounce ideas around until they transform into an adventure worth penning.
Every new addition prompts you to stretch your literary muscle & contribute fresh words in a relatively short time period. It’s perfect practice!
Find yourself eager to log in and see what your fellow writers have written, & what new possibilities for your story have unfolded.
You become a better writer when surrounded by your craft. Creativity flows readily & you’ll find yourself warmed up for tackling your own stories.
Sometimes writers entangle themselves in their own words. Everything must be perfect the first time around, so we stare at a screen plotting perfect prose instead of writing and before we know it- writing isn’t fun & we avoid it. Our goal is to write a thousand words a day, just as an exercise. No stressing about the perfect plot or the perfect words. Once we write like this, let go, it becomes easy to write more than a thousand words a day. Creating becomes fun again. And when suddenly your realize you’ve hit 60k words in one month writing for fun with five friends, you’ll feel mighty accomplished. Writing everyday will make you better, and you will improve while surrounded by your craft. At Minus The Papercuts we write together or apart, share ideas or novel drafts, & ask for critiques and input. We share, learn, grow- & most importantly we write.
“Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but it’s the only way you can do anything really good.”
– William Faulkner
