No edition

one random saturday I felt like writing something but didn’t feel the motivation

and I posted about it in a group with my friends

then someone else wrote “oyea me too”

then I was like. “OK let’s take an hour or whatever to write something”

then they were like “o ok but not today I’ll be busy”

but a bunch of others were like “ooh yeah I’d be interested too”

then I was like “OK cool let’s make a group”

then i was like. “hmmm. it would be difficult for everyone to post and share and talk about their stories”

so I made a little website

and before I knew it there were like 50 people in the group and we had thrown together a weekly writing group

It’s called Writers Jam. you can either read it as writers’ jam or writers (plural noun) jam (verb) (as in, a sentence in simple present tense (the sun rises, and writers jam))

i saw this happen in real time and 2 editions later i am still in awe. the writers’ jam has grown into such a safe space. like it has become my nightly ritual and two weeks ago the website didnt even exist?? it feels like an unexpected kindness. this is a meandering way of saying thank you :)
