Staring at that blank page can be rough. We're here to help.
This is an event primarily for those of us in the early stages of a project: brainstorming, outlining, researching, agonizing over where we're even going with this. Or if you've been looking for an excuse to sit down and write, consider this your sign.
"Do I have to be literally on the first draft stage to show up?"
No. You might not have written a single word yet. You could be doing rewrites on a second or third (or tenth) draft. As long as you're not expecting to pitch your completed manuscript, you're good.
"Do I have to read my stuff out loud/share it? 😰"
No. I'll make a Google Drive folder, or you can share a doc, if you want. It's up to you whether you're interested in sharing what you're up to.
"Is this a critique group? Are you going to chew my writing up and spit it out?"
To shreds, you say? No, the point is to write more, even if it's gasp not perfect. If you'd like an opinion on something, my goal is to help you achieve your vision for it.
