I've been thinking this week about possibly getting a writing partner.. asking for advice on how that has worked out for others?? and how should I go about finding one??

Hey 👋🏾 Fellow writers ✍🏾 After speaking with @David Stem an idea of peer script swap was brought into play How it works: We swap scripts (w.e you're working on doesn't have to be fully finished) to get feedback from our peers on our writing process If you want to get more than one opinion feel free to do so If you're in say "I'm in" and we can start exchanging

I know it's been quiet this week, but there's a lot moving in the background and I'd love your input. I'm lining up guest writers to come in, talk shop, and answer your questions — including Phil Stark, screenwriter-turned-therapist and author of How to Be a Screenwriter. He wrote Dude, Where's My Car? and spent years on That 70s Show, so he'll have plenty to share. I want to start having guest writers and agents and such in regularly. How's Phil sound as one to kick it off? Also I dig deeper into how to run this community well, I've been exploring the Skool "Challenge" feature — and I think we might have something here. A December Challenge built around pages, word count, or scene output could be a great way to get momentum. But only if it's supportive, collaborative, and genuinely fun — not another source of pressure. We all put enough weight on ourselves already. So before I build anything, I want your take on this: Would a December writing challenge help you? If yes, what would make it feel motivating instead of stressful? Drop your thoughts below. I want to hear from you — and I want to shape this with you, not at you.
