Let's talk about #WriterInMotion. What is this crazy project and can I get involved?
The answer is YES. First let's highly what it is, and what it isn't.
The answer is YES. First let's highly what it is, and what it isn't.
#WriterInMotion is a 5-week blog project where writers see a prompt, write a short story, and blog about their progress through revisions.
It is for any writer, no matter what age, market, genre, etc.
It is NOT a contest.

Who can join?
Anyone. You do not have to sign up to join, and you can write erotic non-fiction about the breeding habits of dryer socks in the wild.
This is YOUR project. And when it's all done, you'll have a snazzy new short story or curated article. #WriterInMotion

During week 4 of the project, some awesome editors get involved.
If you would like to have a professional editor critique your short story, you can sign up for one.
OR... you can use week 4 to have more critique partners read over your work. Your choice. #WriterInMotion

If you wish to sign up for a professional edit on your #WriterInMotion piece, we are open to any writer from a marginalized community. Any slots left on July 30th at Noon EST will open to the greater community. https://writerinmotion.com/the-blog-project/#step1
But again... you do not have to sign up for anything unless you'd like a professional edit during week 4.
If you want to stick with CPs... yay, they're tons of fun. Again, this is your project, your choice. #WriterInMotion

But what if I'm a terrible writer and the story is a pile of flaming dog poo?
Doesn't matter.
ALL stories start as piles of flaming dog poo. #WriterInMotion wants to see your process from that fiery goo to a gorgeous shining diamond of a story.

Doesn't matter if you're writing your first draft or have 20+ novels in publication... every writer struggles.
Our goal at #WriterInMotion is to share that struggle as a collective, because none of us are alone. We all agonize over our stories and how to get them just right.
