If you’ve participated in one of our “Writing Sprints” chats before you’ll know how much fun they are: not a competition, but a group effort to spark your writing flow.  We’ll provide a series of short writing sprints based on some Caryl prompts, you write (or not) and maybe share the results (or not!) and just maybe it will inspire a new story or unstick you from a fic you’re stuck on!

This chat will focus more on the writers, but readers are welcome to join. After each sprint, we’ll invite whoever is willing to share what they've written for some constructive feedback. OR, you can choose to keep your words to yourself. ;) There’s no pressure to share, but a little feedback could get the creative juices flowing.

So, bring your sense of humor, your anxiety, your patience, and a stopwatch/timer. We’ll have a good time, and hopefully no blood will be shed. Maybe just a few tears from feels. We’ll bring some tissues, too, just in case.

Join us in the Nine Lives chat room on Thursday, March 1st from 10pm-12am Eastern Time!

Have ideas for a future chat topic on Nine Lives? Send a PM to jaibhagwan, kaoscraze82, or whowhatsitwhich with writing topics you'd like to discuss. We'd love to hear your thoughts. Our goal is to motivate you to keep writing!
