Gawker Slowdown on the Freelove Freeway

"You can now indulge yourself in your nefarious flair for the dramatic."

I'm going to put an idea out there with no expectation of interest or response:

I very much want to finish this next chapter (and the rest of Blackbird, Fly) in the coming weeks and months. I've been struggling to find the time to just sit down and do it, and I think part of that is lack of pressure, deadlines, and accountability. So I'm going to make a proposal: a writing group.

For the month of December, I want to write. A little here, and little there, and add a little to a little and you get quite a lot over time. I'm sure many of you out there have similar goals but could use a little extra motivation that like-minded creators can provide.

So why don't we form a small writing group? Here's how it would work:

Anyone interested, send me a message on Tumblr, and come December 1, we'll hit the play button. We'll announce our individual goals for December: Week 1. It could be anything: "This week, I want to write 1000 words" or "I want to write 300-500 words a day for five days" or "I want to write notes on character/chapter/scene" or whatever it might be. It doesn't even have to be fanfiction. Maybe you're working on a paper for school, or want to journal more, or want to read a dozen stories and leave comments, or, I don't know, want to try your hand at an epic ballad (I hope it's that one!). We'll declare our goals, and at the end of that week, we'll check back in with each other, report on our progress, congratulate and encourage one another. Then we can move on to December: Week 2.

To keep this from being overwhelming, I'm only proposing this for December (though, if we are successful, we may want to do this again in a month or so). I know December can be a hectic month, so we can keep goals small and manageable (or, you know, go nuts, you do you). I just know that sometimes writing groups can be great fun and helpful, which is what I'm looking for at the moment.

So anyone who is interested, anyone at all, whether you follow me or my work or not, whether you've ever interacted with me or not (I'm a friendly person, I promise), just shoot me a message and we'll get this party started. It can be two of us or a dozen, we can grow or shrink at will, and we can make this whatever we want it to be.

Sugar baby fics are awesome ❤ I wish I had ten more lives, secret person. I really do. I would use at least nine of them to write. My to do list is incredibly full at the moment, so sadly I can't make you any promises. But I do love those themes. And who knows, maybe I'll get a craving for a one shot.
