text: # Welcome to Roundtable Thursday! Writing is so much fun, but it can also be very challenging. Luckily, there are so many other writers out there going through the exact same things! We all have unique skills, areas in which we excel, and ways we’d like to improve. This is our weekly thread to discuss all things writing and to get to know your fellow writers!! We will provide a topic and/or a few questions to spark discussion each week. Feel free to join in the discussion in the comments, talk about your experiences, ask related questions, and more. You do not have to answer all the questions, but please try to stay on topic! # This Week’s Roundtable Discussion We have a very involved and supportive community here at shortstories and WPHub on brings together /r/shortstories, /r/wpCritique, and /r/WritingPrompts, plus many of our smaller writing subs like /r/promptoftheday. I know the group has massively influenced my writing and helped me grow as a writer, and I’ve heard a few similar stories. > What I want to know is if you are involved with any writing groups, how they’ve helped you, and why you love it there! > **If this is your first week joining us, please feel free to introduce yourself! Tell us a little about you and your writing!** *** # Reminders * **Use the comments below to answer the questions and reply to others’ comments.** * **Please be civil in all your responses and discussion.** There are writers of all levels and skills here and we’re all in different places of our writing journey. Uncivil comments/discussions in any form will not be tolerated. * **Please try to stay on-topic.
