Writing Buddies

Many writers have trouble keeping up with their writing. A writing buddy would help to keep you accountable, and could give you honest feedback on your writing. If you are interested, there's a form below:

Name: 

Would you like a buddy writing the same genre:

What genre are you writing:

Hmm. Would you want to start a thread that says no one look except NoOneKnows or whatever, or would that not work? I would say we could do it on the YWP classroom, but I'm not allowed on there as of now.

This looks great!

Name: Emekittycon Kitten

Would you like a buddy writing the same genre: Yes please!

What genre are you writing: Kinda of a were-wolf story, where these twins, Bradley and Davin, are just doin' their thing when thier dad gets kidnapped, and they try to find him, and then these people catch them and take them hostage until they release thier full powers, and then they rescue thier dad. But I'm just stuck on the first paragraph. That's just the story line. I ended in the middle of a sentence, because I'm kinda shy about showing or reading anything I'm writing to my realitives, except the ones that I REALLY trust.

 

Sorry about that, it's just that I REALLY trust the people here on the CB.

Sorry I haven't posted on here in forever. @DoodleGirl, yes, I would love to be writing partners with you. So, how are we going to share our work with each other? I'm pretty sure you said you might join YWP, I don't know if you ever actually did join? If you did, then that would probably be the easiest way to work together, otherwise, we could open up a "DoodleGirl and PygmyOwl" thread on CaC. I'm excited to read your work! Also to have someone read mine!

Oh! Yes, I just joined YWP, my username is Warrior_of_Love (I think I'm gonna change my CB name to that, too). So that works, although I'm still kinda figuring out how the forum works. If you tell me your username, do we just make a thread there? Also, don't expect me to post a lot because I've barely even started at this point and I'm gonna be busier soon with school. But this will help me keep up with my writing better, and I'm excited to see your story too!

I actually haven't been on the YWP forums much, they are just too huge and scary. So, you could make a thread with our names, or we could use the Private Chat feature in the CB classroom. (Information on this thread: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/chirpatcricket/node/441589)

I'm open to whichever you would rather use. My username is PygmyOwl on YWP as well. It's fine if you don't post much, but I'm warning you, my book that I am currently working on is about 15 chapters in, so I have a lot of material I want to be looked over, as well as a short story or two.

Hmm... honestly I don't really care. If you don't want your story to be open to anyone but us, YWP would be better. If you want it to be public, that's fine too and we could use the CB. If we did it on the CB, maybe This Month would be best because its least active. Also, o think we should have a schedule where, for example, I could post a part on Tuesdays and you do yours on Fridays, or more or less often. But we dont have to. LMK!

I think, in order to be respectful to the other CBers if for no other reason, we should probably talk on YWP. Since, after all, it could be hurtful or even just annoying to see a thread that you aren't supposed to comment on.

And if we want to do this on a schedule, I would like to have Monday be my day, since nearly every other day of the week has some sort of writing commitment for me at the moment.

Yes, you make a good point there... so YWP it is? I guess I'll make the private chat. I can post on Friday. Hope that's good with you!

Ooh, this is cool!

Name: Jaybells

Buddy Preference: Not particularly, but a lot of the things I write tend to be darker, so... brace yourself, I guess?

Genre:  Um, at the moment, more fantasy stuff; I love world-building though, so don't expect much or anything, actually, to be half-baked. (Some of it is very heavily based off of Japanese fantasy/isekai manga but I have my own darker/more realistic ones too.) I also love to (read/)write mystery, horror, psychological, short-stories, cute short ones (have to monitor that fluff&sweetness gauge) and can take a couple heavy doses of angst. Ooh, and also Chinese-inspired revenge ones! Those ones are usually really interesting, but only up to a certain point, so don't typically get very far with them. Overall, it seems pretty bleak, but I actually think up lighter stuff I just sort of forget to write it all down and asdszdffhcgjvk... sorry, I'm rambling again. >__<

Ah-! I forgot! Ski lodges, ski lodges too, I love those kinds of things! (Yeah,  I know, they're technically under mystery, but still!!!) If anyone wants to pair up with me to do one, whether it's a one-time collab project or working together I'd be really excited! I also procrastinate, er, rather... a lot. So, schedules, please!~
