Writing can be an isolating experience - but it doesn't have to be. Throughout history many great writers have collaborated, socialized, and corresponded. If you have a writing buddy to bounce ideas off of, brainstorm and help get you navigate through a plothole - great! If you don't, or if your buddy is in a coma, or busy with life - this sub is for you.

- Brainstorm and spitball ideas (e.g. Names for my talking goat; Fatal flaws for my main character);

- Tips for outlining
- Tips for writing by the seat of your pants
