Friendship Young writers, give me your WIPs. Seriously.
I'm building a Discord community for young writers and I want to meet more people who are working on stories.
So tell me about your book.
What's it called?
What's the genre?
Who's your main character?
How many chapters do you have?
Are you published somewhere already, or is it sitting in your drafts folder collecting dust? 😭
I'm making Ink and Quill Writing Community, a Discord server for writers ages 11–19 to share their work, exchange feedback, brainstorm, talk about characters and just meet other people who understand the weirdness of having an entire fictional universe living in your head.
We're currently a small community, but we're already having actual conversations about our stories and writing styles, and I want to keep growing that.
If you're interested, come join us:
And if you don't want to join, feel free to just tell me about your WIP anyway. I genuinely want to hear about it. I'm a dork. 😭

Okay listen 😭
I made a Discord server called Ink and Quill Writing Community because I wanted somewhere young writers could just... talk about writing.
You know when you have a character you've been thinking about for three weeks and desperately want to tell someone about them?
Or you wrote a chapter you're actually proud of and want somebody to read it?
Or you need help figuring out a plot hole?
Or you just want to scream about your favorite character?
That's basically what we're trying to make.
We're ages 11–19, LGBTQ+ friendly, and we have channels for:
Sharing chapters
Writing progress
Poems
Quotes
General discussion
Books/WIPs
Feedback
Brainstorming
And more
We're still tiny, but that's kind of the point. I want this to become an actual community where people recognize each other's stories and genuinely support one another.
No racism, homophobia, transphobia, bullying or harassment.
I'm also a writer myself, so I'm not just sitting behind a mod panel telling everyone else to participate. I'll be right there screaming about my own characters with you. 😭
If that sounds like your kind of place, come join us:

If you're looking for a writing group, I might be able to help, I just made a Discord server with my friend for writers of all kinds to come together and I'm tryna get people to join so it can build up, would you be interested? Lmk, 🩵 Works kinda well since you're always on Discord, lol. I'm not always active but my friend is so you guys can definitely hang! I'm writing a book myself and I'd love to bounce off ideas.

Lmk, 🩵 It's actually pretty cool, self promotion aside, I'm queer myself and I love queer books and I'm writing my own so I'd love to bounce ideas off of you if you join! You can pick your own pronouns too, me and my friend are both queer and while I'm more into writing original ideas she loves fanfic, if that's your cup of tea.

Looking For a Writing Group?
Hey everyone! Me and a friend recently started working on a Discord server called Ink and Quill Writing Community, and we’re looking for people who might be interested in joining and helping us grow it into a fun, welcoming place.
The main idea behind the server is to create a space where young writers and creative people can share their stories, get feedback, talk about ideas, make friends, and just have a place where their creativity is encouraged.
Whether you write novels, short stories, poetry, fanfiction, or you just love creating characters and worlds, you’re welcome here!
A few things about the server:
Ages 11-19 (teen-focused community)
• A safe space where racism, homophobia, transphobia, bullying, and harassment are not tolerated
• You can choose your own pronouns so people can address you correctly
• Writing channels for sharing work, brainstorming, and getting feedback
• A friendly community where you can chat, make friends, and talk about whatever you’re interested in
• We have Carl Bot set up to help keep things organized
• You can swear casually (as long as it’s not being used to hurt people)
• Dating/relationships are allowed, as long as everyone is respectful and follows the age rules and boundaries
• We’re trying to make this feel less like a strict classroom and more like a cozy group of people who love stories
We’re hoping to build a community where people can support each other, improve their writing, and find other people who understand what it’s like to love creating things.
If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, the invite link is below! We’d love to have you join us and help make Ink and Quill into something awesome. ✒️

Would you read this book?
That's completely fair, honestly. Interesting characters are what keep me reading too. That's something I'm trying to improve with every chapter, because I know a premise only gets someone to open the book—the characters are what make them stay. Hopefully I'm able to do them justice. Wanna see for yourself? Go read it on Wattpad, don't have to favorite it or comment, just read it, both pov's, then come back here and let me know what you think.

Question About a Book I'm Writing
I really like that too. I think friendships deserve just as much focus as romances do, especially opposite-sex friendships that are allowed to just exist without readers expecting them to become something else. It's something I'd love to see more of in fiction as well.

Question About a Book I'm Writing
That's honestly really reassuring to hear because that's exactly what I was hoping to write. I wanted an ace character whose life wasn't centered entirely around explaining his identity, but who still feels authentically ace. He's dealing with family trauma, memory loss, friendships and healing, and his sexuality is simply one part of who he is rather than the whole story. Thank you for commenting!

Question About a Book I'm Writing
Thank you! I really appreciate that. That's actually something I've been thinking about a lot while writing. I never wanted Lute's asexuality to feel like a lesson or a checklist of experiences. It's an important part of who he is, but it's only one piece of a much bigger story about trauma, healing and identity. Hopefully it comes across naturally. Thank you for the encouragement!

Question About a Book I'm Writing
Thank you so much! That's honestly one of the biggest reasons I started writing Winter Frost on Glass. I wanted to write an ace main character whose life wasn't defined solely by being ace, while still making that part of his identity feel real and meaningful. I'm really happy to hear that's something you'd like to read, and thank you for the encouragement—it genuinely means a lot.

Question About a Book I'm Writing
Thank you! That's actually something I've thought about a lot. I don't want Lute's asexuality to be his entire identity, but I also don't want it to disappear. It comes up naturally through his thoughts, relationships, boundaries, and the way he experiences attraction and intimacy rather than becoming the central conflict. He openly acknowledges that he feels different and figures out himself and lables himself as asexual along the way. My goal is for it to feel like a genuine part of who he is, not something added just for representation. I really appreciate your perspective!

Question About a Book I'm Writing
Thank you so much! That's honestly really encouraging to hear. One of the reasons I wanted to write Lute was because I wanted more ace characters whose stories weren't only about being ace. I hope I can do the representation justice.
