Yes, that’s a long title. But I wanted to get your attention.
I am literally thinking up all of this on the fly. But wouldn’t it be great if a Young Writer’s Club was started on WordPress? Does something like this actually exist?
The purpose of the club would be to promote unity, critical thinking, support, and shared love of writing with other young authors.
Age range would be for people between 15 and 22. Exceptions could be made.
This would be more a MOVEMENT, not an official club. I would essentially “run the show”, but I would be equal to every member. If anyone has an idea for how to promote our club, or an idea for a direction we go in, please voice your opinion!
Once again, thinking on the fly…
We could meet once every week? Once every two weeks? Once every month? Preferably on a Saturday or Sunday, when people don’t have classes?
The only thing I am interested in promoting for personal reasons is the following mission statement:
(Insert name of club) is a group of writers dedicated to helping each other write stories that promote the True, the Good, and the Beautiful, by providing constructive criticism, honest feedback, and promotional resources, so as to create a vibrant writing community with enough power to move mountains.
(I’m still working on that last part, but it sounds epic, right?)
Let’s face it. What’s the power of old people? Experience.
What’s the power of young people? Fearlessness. Passion. Lots and lots of passion.
As a movement of young writers, I’d like to see young writers USING their passion. And using it for good. That part about the “true, good, and beautiful” in the mission statement wasn’t something I pulled out of my butt. That phrase is taken from what Ancient Greek philosophers and artists tried to proclaim and portray through their art.
We want to proclaim what is True because nothing is more wonderful to the mind than the Truth.
The Truth will show us, and therefore society, what is Good.
And, once we understand the Good, we can manifest what is Beautiful.
It’s a wonderful philosophy, isn’t it?
What do you think?

Hi, i think this is a great idea plus I do fall into that age range. I’d love to know more details about this!

Great!! I’m still working on the details. One of the things that I should’ve clarified is that we would be meeting ONLINE once every week, once every month, etc. Not in person though. If someone lives in the UK, and another in Australia, things just wouldn’t work!

Well, note where I said exceptions can be made. So long as you aren’t TOO old, I don’t think it would be a problem, especially if I struggle to find other members

This is a fun idea! I’m trying to figure out if I should join or if I already have too much on my plate. We’ll see! XD That’s a great mission statement (and of course a very good Captain America quote, too)!
