The Write Idea: A Community Writing Experiment

Beginning The Write Idea

Hello!

So here goes an experiment. A social writing experiment, if you will.

I think one of the most valuable things I’ve ever experienced in being a writer is being a part of a community — tackling an idea on my own and seeing how others would tackle it in their own unique way. There’s something inspiring about seeing other writers at work, watching the writerly cogs in their mind turn. Hence the idea for The Write Idea was born.

In some ways, this isn’t a new idea. Rather, it’s time-tested. People dedicate years to English and Creative Writing academic programs to achieve community. Literary magazines seek to showcase it.

With the power of social media, let’s see if we can take it to a new level — create a patchwork of beautiful writing, if you will.

If you believe in the mission of a writing community, please take part in this!

Every 3 weeks, we’ll set a theme, and we invite you to submit writing to share. We won’t be shy about giving credit — include your name, your bio, links to your blog and/or writing, if you wish. This way, fellow writers can meet fellow writers!

I really hope this is something others will be interested in! Thanks for reading!

THEME TO KICK OFF: ‘Outnumbered’
