Update 2024-09-05: The writing club is underway! I’ll keep this post updated to act as a hub for any further WC related materials.
Writing Club posts:
2025
2024
I’ve never been in a writing club but I’m interested in trying to get one going. Would anyone else be interested in giving it a go? I don’t have to lead it, but will do so if no one else wants to.
What I’m picturing:
- Monthly check-in cadence
- Everyone sets a personal goal, and then talks about how they did the previous month
- No pressure other than what you want to take on to motivate you
- Maybe some “assignments” in the vein of a creative writing class
- I volunteer to send members reminder DMs to motivate them :)
I was thinking I’d just start with this post - come up with a goal for myself to accomplish by end of June, and then check back sometime in the first week of July. If that sounds interesting to you, feel free to join in and comment with your goal, and any details you want to add.
PS Also very open to writing club discussion meta. I’m new to this so wide open to suggestios, comments, critique, etc.

It is fun! Although outside of the writing club itself, I’d recommend avoiding posting links to your own work unless you’re looking for specific feedback on your writing.
RE sharing text in comments, there’s no hard length cutoff, just try to be mindful of people scrolling on their phones - so no longer than a long comment, for example.
Finally, if you’re posting in the writing club, definitely feel free to share a link to your project(s), since the purpose of the writing club is to provide friendly accountability to motivate us to complete project work.
PS. Welcome to lemmy. PPS. I’m not hard set on this rule against self-promotion, so if you want we can open up that rule for discussion, and see what folks think generally.
