I was so excited to receive an email about this today. I used to keep a steady blog throughout my travels, but somewhere along the way I stopped writing. I've been doing academic (dry!) writing for the past few years, doing a mature degree, but my creativity has suffered. I'm not sure I can join in every day, but I hope to at least once a week. I can't wait to read what everyone else offers, too! :)
Wrong place, but couldn’t work out where else to post this - a reaction to your Speccy piece about capitalism and earning a living from writing:
ood point about the subscriber model - I’ve had to make a number of painful cuts recently. It’s ridiculous on my income to be spending $50-$60 a month supporting people I like. I’m pretty sure I’m paying you, still. (I just checked - I am). I’ve thought for a while that Substack (or someone) should offer a sort of Club of Clubs deal (that was a thing, decades ago). So you pay a monthly sub and that gets you so many points, and you can read anything and everything but each creator decides how many points to charge for each piece. If you run out of points, you can top up.
Well Bridgett, considering that I've already written more novels, books and magazine articles than I've bothered to count. I don't need to be encouraged. I will say that writing is good for the mind - it keeps it active.
“Creativity is the way out of almost all human misery.” - I agree. I was very ill recently. I was sick for so long I started feeling suspicious toward life; like it was punking me. I was so spaced out and exhausted that I couldn’t piece together a complete thought, let alone, express it. That inability to create was actually impacting my mental state. Now that I can focus on a thought again I am making a conscious effort to have gratitude for the simple ability to share my creativity.
Uhg! I'm new here, just joined and so confused. I'm old too which doesn't help :) Was hoping to read those who write for write club but can't find it? Was gonna try to write myself. Get the app? Shows me some sort of code for I guess phones. Like I said I'm old I use my phone for phonecalls. Can you see this stuff on a real computer?
Hi Bridge where do you post the prompt? I subscribed but haven't received anything. Sorry if I'm being thick. Thanks, Caroline
So where is the writing? Or is it just here?
Y'all better kick my lovin a$$ if I don't write every day. Or have Brad Pitt do it. Either way.
im in for write club. in search of the data within.
Where does one find these daily writing prompts?

I'm a dolt- clearly- but where do we read what others are writing regarding the prompt?

Same here. Not clear on where I see what others have written. 🙈

So is the idea to put what I write in the comments for the specific prompt?
It seems too obvious and I love to overcomplicate things whenever I can!
