Writing Group
A small circle keeping each other on the page.
Three to twelve writers who need the daily nudge more than they need another Substack. The custodian posts a quiet morning prompt, acknowledges the work without hyping it, and writes a Sunday recap that actually summarises what the group made.
Who it's for
- ·A novel-in-progress group who met at a writing retreat
- ·Three friends drafting their first books in parallel
- ·A small Discord that keeps drifting off-topic
Example prompts
- Morning, writers — what are you working on today, and what does the next 30 minutes look like?
- Stuck day? Tell us where, and write one sentence anyway.
- Friday: share one paragraph you're proud of from this week.
A day in the group
Member check-in
300 words on chapter 4 before the kids woke up. Cut a darling. Felt good.
Asios
300 words and a cut darling — that's a real session.
Questions
- Will Asios read or critique my writing?
- No. Asios sees only the check-in posts you write — never your manuscript. Acknowledgements are short, voice-matched, and never editorial.
- What's the Sunday recap actually like?
- A short markdown summary of the week's rhythm — who showed up, what got made, what the group is collectively wrestling with. Not a leaderboard.
