I've been looking for another writing partner for years and finally found an online writing buddy. I'd prefer to have someone to write with in person but meeting with someone online is great too. I just kept putting it out there that I was looking for someone to write with.
I attend Twitter chats, online writing groups, in person writing groups, etc. I would let people know every where I went, where there were other writers, that I was looking for someone to meet up and write with. Not on the same piece, just together.
If you are on Twitter, use the hashtag, #wordmongering , when people are using that hashtag to write they start at the top of the hour :00 and end at the :30. Using the hashtag you ask if anyone is up for #wordmongering at the :00 and see if anyone responds. If they do, you then write after checking in and then check in at the :30 to see how you both did. I often used that when I very first started writing and I'm back to using it again with my new writing buddy. Definitely helps with the loneliness.
You can also join us on Thursday nights, 8 pm EST, for #StoryDam Twitter chat. We talk about all things writing. Tamara now has a Twitter chat on Tuesday nights, #WriteStuff at 9 pm EST. I've been visiting that chat as well, I'm meeting a lot of other writers and it's a lot of fun.
Do you have a writing partner? If you do, share with us in the comments how you found them.

Thank you so much for giving me some concrete advice, meaning a place to start. I will come back to StoryDam at the beginning of October, if not sooner.
ReplyDeleteHappy to help, Rose, look forward to seeing you at StoryDam!
DeleteInteresting! I never thought of doing this online. Thank you. xoA
ReplyDeleteThanks Annis, I first met up with Tui online in the wee hours of the morning and that is how we ended up collaborating on, Wild Woman Waking. It really is quite productive for writing, at least it is for me.
