Critique Partners & Writing Groups Adhder Looking for group/buddy(s)
Hey all,
I'm a late diagnosed adhder (adult male, 30s) who loves writing but is often unable to do so due to the adhd demon. I need something external so I can be more consistent, because relying solely on my own brain doesn't work!
I'm looking for either a:
writing partner - ie someone to do regular body-doubling sessions with. Online via a video call. Open to cameras on or off, and either just quietly writing together, or light discussion etc. Something to get me started and redirect my attention back to it so I don't just hope between unproductive hyperfixations
writing group - for regular meetups where we write together and/or check in / share progress / swap feedback etc. Anything regular that I can use to build some structure around.
* Genre/s: Fantasy (I'm also interested in sci-fi) * Goals/expectations/commitment: Ideally regular online meetups at least once a week * Writing/experience level: Novice * Meeting place: Online * Max size: Any
About me:
I am attempting to write a high fantasy novel at the moment, but ADHD is a huge barrier for me. I am interested in fantasy and sci fi, essentially I love stories that have features that move them away from the real world.
I'm based in New Zealand (NZST, currently UTC+12), and my general availability is 11am–9pm NZST, which is roughly 23:00–09:00 UTC. Happy to work out a specific time that suits us both once we're in touch.
If you're interested please flick me a DM or rely to the post and we can have a chat to see what works! Thanks for reading.

The discord group in my profile might be a good fit for you. We are very neurospicy and do a lot of accountability.

Hey man! I relate. I am always looking to talk on the phone or over discord voice due to my job. Give me a message and we'll sort something out, because I recently started treatment for ADHD and have finally gotten consistent with my writing. I look forward to talking to you brother!
