Introducing My Writing Community!

A new way to connect with writers, discuss your interests, and receive feedback on your creative endeavors. — I’ve been building communities for years. I’ve developed in-person groups, Facebook groups, Twitter communities, Slack channels, Discord servers — pretty much anything you can think of. Much of my community-building work through the years has focused on social media. The Wired-owned imprint, Backchannel, picked up my 2014 exploration of Snapchat…

The Best of the Writing Cooperative in May

Plus, an invitation to discuss a fantastic book at the next My Writing Community Book Club event — Over the weekend, I finished the 1,663-page Silo/Wool Saga Omnibus and caught up with all of Apple’s available episodes.

My Return to Journaling Failed Miserably

This Week In Writing, we talk about good intentions, rumored Apple products, and buying domain names — I intentionally broke a 1,903-day journaling streak a few months back. It was the right decision, and I don’t regret it. However, I’ve not returned in any capacity since. I intended to write when I had something to say. It turns out that’s a bad motivator. Either that or I…

Let’s Talk About Numbers

This Week In Writing, we talk about the importance of metrics and why I barely pay attention to mine — I had a car that crossed the 100,000-mile mark on the odometer once. Do any cars still have physical odometers? Anyway, I watched the little numbers roll from 99,999 to 100,000. It happened years ago before I had a camera in my pocket every day. While it seemed like a…

ChatGPT, the Writer’s Strike, and the Future of Content Writing

This Week In Writing, we explore a middle-of-the-road approach to ChatGPT and the future of writing — The Writers Guild of America is on strike. I’m not fully versed on the provisions the Guild is striking over, but I know one of them is protections against the absolute tidal wave of AI. AI can’t write with feeling or emotion (yet), but the WGA is wise to address…
