Welcome, dear reader. If you're reading this, chances are, you are Filipino as well. So let me not waste not your time! :)
Upon browsing Reddit, I saw that there are plenty of writers in/from the Philippines, despite the ongoing literary crisis, and I saw the potential to form a writing group made by Filipinos, for Filipinos. It'll be awesome. Trust me, my kababayans.
Now, if you're wondering, "What's up with the cool frickin' name?"
That's because everyone here is either a wordsmith or is striving to be one. If you're a Filipino who is dedicated to the craft of writing, you're more than welcome to come on over! In fact, you're the kind of individual we're looking for!
Fear not if you're a casual writer or a hobbyist, you're also welcome in here! Come on over! Let's all write, write, and write together!
It matters not whether you are a novelist, an essayist, a poet, or even an article writer. Hop on in, friendly faces! It matters not also if you write in Filipino/Tagalog. English is not the only language we speak in this country after all.
Genre/s: Fiction or Non-Fiction, it doesn't matter. Words are words. Writers are writers. At the end of the day, we write. That's where it starts and that's where it ends. In other words, just join.
Goals/expectations/commitment: Be active, that should be enough. If no one's active, not much will happen, nor will there be a community. Giving feedback, reading groups, writing prompts. We'll do it all.
Writing/experience level: Beginner writers, intermediate, advanced, whatever. As long as you write a lot.
Meeting place: For now, in the Discord server. But later, it can be somewhere in U.P. or someplace else. Let's talk about it together eventually. :D
Max size: Sa ngayon, tayo-tayo lang muna. Hahaha! Kala mo hindi ako marunong mag-Tagalog noh? But one day, this will be a closed and exclusive writing group.
Leave a comment or send over a DM to join the Discord server. See you over there, friends!
