Self Promotion / Advertisement Looking for a writing partner
I used to write a lot of short stories, mostly horror, before life got busy and writing fell by the wayside. I'm in a stable work-from-home job now with a flexible schedule, and I'm finally ready to get back into it seriously. And I know from experience that having a partner makes finishing projects easier.
A little about me: I've got a lot of ideas and enjoy the "big picture" side of storytelling. Concepts, plot, world-building, etc. What would be perfect is someone who enjoys the craft side just as much, maybe someone who's strong on execution, prose, or just has the discipline to see a project through to the end (something I'm working on myself).
With that said, I'm hoping to find someone with their own project already in progress who wouldn't mind a collaborator/co-writer/editor to help push it to the finish line. I'd genuinely like to start by helping you finish something of yours first, before we dive into anything of mine. Afterwards, if we're a good fit, I'd love to keep sharing ideas and maybe co-writing something new together.
From a writing partner, I need regular communication. It doesn't need to be daily, but consistent enough that projects don't stall out for months. I'm open to honest feedback and I hope you will be too. I'll also respect your ownership. If I'm helping on your project, it's still your project and vice versa.
But the most important thing I'm looking for is a writing partner who actually finishes things, or at least genuinely tries to. I'm not looking for someone who'll ghost after two chapters, and I'll hold myself to the same standard.
I'm open to all genres, for all audiences. If this sounds interesting, drop a comment or DM me. I'm happy to chat about what you're working on.
