New semi-regular community conversations

So maybe some of you remember aaaaaages ago when I started a semi-structured biweekly community discussion called #DiscussionTime. It was fun! And for a time it was relatively successful. Then academics, and career, and real life got in the way, and it deteriorated.

Anyway, I wax nostalgic over this to say I’m giving the spirit of #DiscussionTime new life in the form of a new, less structured, discussion format. It’s going to be looser, and most importantly, I’m going to be jumping in to continue the conversation personally rather than simply mediating for others. Basically I think it’s going to be less serious and more fun! And it’s not going to be on any form of schedule because it’s not feasible for me.

I’m looking forward to it! And I’m tagging all the lovely folks from the original #DiscussionTime taglist to see if you want to be tagged in this new format as well once I have my first opener ready. Anyone who wants to be added to or removed from the discussion taglist, please drop me a line! And don’t think you have to be on the taglist to participate - the only requirements to participate are a good attitude and respect for otheres!

@autumnwoodsdreamer tagged me in a game of Writers’ Calvin-ball, the idea being to either write until you come up with a sentence containing the word of the tagger’s piece (in Autumn’s case, mine is the word “room”), or post a sentence with that word from anywhere in your WIP! Here’s mine below for a scene in the Toro Lives AU on Sorgan:

The Mandalorian looked around the simple furnishings, his hand briefly tracing the carvings on the doorpost marking a child’s progressing height. She could see him across the room from the corner of her eye and knew that, despite what interest he may have in the history of her daughter’s place here, it was more likely the rifle in the nook behind the door that drew his attention.

Since it’s Calvin-ball I’m changing the rules up a bit too: Pick any word from that snippet above to write towards, or share part of that WIP with the word of your choosing!
