Welcome!

[serria]

Welcome to write_away, a community for people in all corners of the writing field to get together and talk about our craft. This community was founded upon realization that, though there were communities for people to post their work, there wasn't really a place for people to simply discuss writing. That's the goal of this community: to talk about writing with other writers. Topics can include any aspect of writing, whether professionally or just for fun. Cliches and tropes, grammar, publishing, editing, favorite fonts, characterization, pet peeves, or even just bouncing ideas around - this is the place!

The rules, found in the profile, can be summed up as: be nice, use common sense when posting, and stay on topic. Remember, this is a discussion community, not a place to post your fic!

Finally, I am currently looking for volunteers to help mod this place. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to be a mod! Any help is appreciated in making this community look nice and run smoothly.

Thanks for stopping by the community!

Books you wish you had written

[serria]

Here's a little ice-breaker: what existing book do you wish you had written? Whether it's because the story really resonated with you or because the book was similar to your own style in terms or writing or themes, is there any book out there that you wish had your name on it?

For me, my favorite genre is fantasy, and I absolutely love elves, dragons, and other fantasy elements that have been done a million times now. In that regard, it's tough not to be a little jealous of Tolkien. His stuff isn't even my favorite in the fantasy genre, but I'd love to be on record for "revolutionizing" a genre, or establishing elements that would later become tropes.
