Hello #mastodon. Thought I'd try this platform out. Any suggestions for where to start? I am hoping to find a #writingcommunity similar to that on Twitter. I abandoned that ship long ago....

#writers #writing

(Pictured, an old timey typewriter that I have never laid hands on.)

@jenniferjordan I have never been part of a Twitter writing community, or one in real life for that matter.

But I did make some connections with new folks on Mastodon who were doing #TheArtistsWayAtWork / #TheArtistsWay or were otherwise on some kind of creativity journey and it was great.

I want to do more essay writing and happy to connect on that with you or others. Hope you find the right connections to support your writing dreams!

@AmandaDSmith Thanks Amanda. I have the Artists Way and have not yet cracked it open. Thanks for the tips. What kind of essays do you write?

@jenniferjordan It has been life-changing for someone I know; I haven't had any major magic happen. But it's something to do to shake things up.

For work, I write nonfiction about climate/sustainability, particularly for buildings (e.g. https://www.drawdown.org/news/insights/net-zero-is-bigger-than-any-one-building-but-every-building-can-help-us-get-there). For myself, occasional poetry. I'm a recovering academic trying to unlearn a lot of dull and defensive writing habits.

What do you write?

Net Zero is bigger than any one building, but every building can help us get there | Project Drawdown

Instead of making every individual building net zero, we should focus on how we can use the buildings sector more broadly to achieve deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.
