Feeling creative? Need a creative community to chat to?

We have a discord server where writers, artists, gamers, readers and more can join, share their work, make friends and chat. We began life as a writing server but are expanding to include other creative groups and we need creative people to help build us in to a welcoming place for all. 

If you’d like to join us just follow the link to Discord! It costs nothing and we just want to give you a place to express your creativity. Please repost this to share with creative communities!

NaNoWriMo is coming up and we have a special event coming up which is all about encouraging and supporting writers to meet their goal. Join us if you haven’t already for sprints, support and feedback.

July is Feedback Month!

This July we’re encouraging all our readers to give feedback to works posted in our writing channels. They have no limit; they could read everything in there if they wanted. But they have to give detailed feedback. It’s just another way to make people feel welcome and challenge them to give detailed feedback instead of just ‘that was great’. 

So busy today in the server, doing writing sprints, having music parties, new people arriving and the first day of Feedback Month. So good to see the server being so active!

Prompts!

Today on our Discord we’re using this prompt! It’s already started several conversations about summoning demons; whatever gets your creative juices flowing!

A Love Letter to our Writing Bot(s)

Funny story. We love our writing bot, A LOT. We actually have two, one that just helps with sprints and another that has a large amount of functions including keeping track of our projects. If you’re on a writing server on Discord you probably know the one.

Obviously it’s still being worked on, which is totally not a problem, we just love her even more when she’s working.

But I thought I’d share why we have nicknamed her Karen.

Now we all know of ‘Karen’. The hairstyle, the ‘speak to your manager’, the myth, the legend.

But the thing is we LOVE our Karen. LOVE her (when she works). But aside from occasionally getting a laugh out of being able to use the word ‘cantankerous’ to describe her, we generally call her Karen because when she doesn’t work she makes us want to speak to her manager. We love that bot’s features so much we actively feel like we want to become Karen’s, demanding for her to ‘work god damn it!’ because for some reason we have now become super reliant on Karen to keep track of our projects and show us that we actually have achieved something today. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy watching that word count go up and up?

And we love a sprint. Several thousands of words between us from 1 or 2 sprints a day? DAAAMN. This kind of productivity is unprecedented sometimes; we all know the dreaded writer’s block. Well apparently to defeat writer’s block, you need a writer bot!

So here’s to Karen and our other bot. You two really bring us all together; whether it’s to do a sprint or smash our heads in to the keyboard when no one can update a project. We really love you.

Cheers!
