Hi folks, and welcome to the 10th writing club update. That’s right, it’s the big “One-Oh” - we’re in the double digits now.

I hope you are all safe and as well as can be, and able to find some time for creativity/writing. The weather here has been a hodgepodge of warm to surprisingly brisk; although seems to be angling towards warmer now. It will be nice to see the pollinators waking up and doing their rounds soon. Life doing its thing and all that.

Onward to our writers! By my count we’ve got:

Here is a link to last month’s post if you’d like to refresh your memory, or just take a little trip down memory late.

    I wrote a short story about a future where most people are plugged into a sim & have robotic partners …

    That sounds really cool! Definitely a great hook. I imagine this is the modern interpretation inspired by The Stepford Wives you were just referring to? I would love to read that if you do share it. It sounds like an interesting angle to take on the experience of loneliness.

      Yes! It is an interpritation/response to the stepford wives. Kind of extrapolated it to an extreme and definetly influenced by more modern concepts like virtual reality. Kind of asking what would happen if that tech/world continued to the present day.

      I’ll definetly keep working on it. Knowing there’s someone who might give it a read definetly helps with the motivation/ inspiration :)
