Hi,
I'm new to the forum, and have come here looking for a writing buddy, or accountability partner! I write upmarket fiction, some magical realism, and I'm looking to swap chapters with someone as we write them—let's help each other get that first draft done! I thrive on feedback as I write, and find it really keeps me motivated. I have an agent and I'm on sub right now. I'm trying to focus on a new wip and it hasn't been easy.
I'm open to critiquing most kinds of fiction, and read all kinds of genres as long as the writing is somewhat literary-leaning. I really don't have experience with fantasy stuff that has elves, fairies, dragons, etc. Though I write for the adult market, I think I'd do a good job critiquing YA. I always try to respond fast, and would like my writing buddy to be responsive as well. I like to critique and be critiqued in the 'compliment sandwich' style.
My weaknesses are plotting and pacing (though I'd like to think I'm improving. I can point out other people's plotting and pacing issues, it's more issues with my own writing), and cody editing. My strengths are in characterization, imagery, language, and sentence flow (I'm a published poet).
Please DM if interested! Thanks!
