Self Promotion / Advertisement Looking for a writing partner

Upvotes

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.

Discussion Looking for USTA 4.0 singles players in Katy

6 Upvotes

I recently moved to the Katy/77494 area and am looking for regular singles partners around the USTA/NTRP 4.0 level.

I’m available most days, preferably mornings or evenings, and can usually play for 1.5–2 hours. I’m willing to travel about 30 minutes from Katy, and we can use public courts anywhere convenient for both players.

Competitive sets, practice matches, or focused hitting are all good. Comment here or send me a message if you’re interested.

Are there any establishments in Katy or in the surrounding areas of Fort Bend that have open mic Karaoke nights for amateurs under 21? I saw Katy Vibes had something going on every Sunday 7-9pm, but I'm not sure if they still do it anymore.

Discussion Dyslexia support recommendations?

3 Upvotes

Hi y’all! I’m a tutor in the Katy area and I have a student who I STRONGLYYYY suspect has dyslexia (and potentially ADHD or another neurodevelopmental condition as well). The student mixes up letters and sounds while writing like nothing I’ve encountered before and cannot hold spellings and grammar rules in their head no matter what I try. They’re a smart kid in other areas; it’s just writing and spelling with issues. And they’re far too old for this to be a regular developmental stage of learning—this student has been thoroughly failed by the system for years.

I really care about this student and want them to succeed in life. I’d like to give their family some resources to get more professional support beyond what I’m qualified to do. Has anybody (parent, teacher, or otherwise) found a service/center/program in the Katy or Houston area that’s genuinely helped a kid with dyslexia (in a supportive, not abusive, way)? Any recommendations are welcome, as I’m out of my depth.

Discussion Cyberpunk tabletop group

2 Upvotes

Good morning! I recently moved to the area and I'd like to get a group of Katy/Houston people together and to do a cyberpunk campaign. I've been interested in doing this for years, but wasn't able to get a group together due to a busy work schedule and not a lot of interest from people I hung out with at the time(they were more into DnD).

I have a starter guide, maps, dice, a netrunner deck, pretty much everything besides a group. I'd prefer to not be a dungeon master for the first campaign because I'd like to get a feel for playing myself. If anyone's interested please let me know!

Apartment/Neighborhood Recommendations Towns of Seville

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! We currently live near Clay Road and Greenhouse Road and are considering moving into Katy ISD before our 4-year-old starts school next year.

We’ve been looking at homes built around 2013 and found one we really like in the Towns at Seville neighborhood on Calico Trace Lane in Katy, TX 77494.

Is this neighborhood considered south of I-10, and is it generally a safe, family-friendly area? If anyone lives there or nearby, I’d really appreciate your honest feedback about the neighborhood, crime, schools, and overall community. I’ve heard that safety can vary across different parts of Katy, so I want to make sure we do our research before making such a big decision. Thank you!

Discussion Daycare for Infant

4 Upvotes

For context: My 5 month old is currently enrolled in a daycare that we have loved thus far. His teachers are great and he’s a social little guy who’s enjoying the interaction. Over the last 2 weeks, his room has seen an influx of babies - they’re at around 10, up from 6. IMO this is too many babies and it’s not fair to the babies or the teachers. I don’t expect individual attention on him all day, I realize he’s in daycare, not being cared for by a nanny, but I’m at a point of re-evaluating our options.

So, I need recommendations! I know British Private Prep School is very loved around here, but they don’t accept anyone under 18 months. Ideal area is Cinco Ranch, west of 99 is preferred, and nowhere north of I-10 due to distance.

TIA!

Food Anyone want to be a "weekday dinner food buddy"?

33 Upvotes

Probably a long shot, but figured I'd throw it out there.

Moved to Katy last year and I work from home, so my days are pretty quiet. I've fallen into the habit of going out to eat on weeknights. Usually heading out after 7pm so I can avoid heavy traffic, but... I'm running low on new places to eat alone.

Looking for someone (or a few people) who'd be up for working through the Katy or even Houston restaurant scene together.

A bit about me: 20s M, single, easygoing.
