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 and areas in which we excel, as well as places we’d like to improve. So I’d like to present a brand new weekly feature. This will be a weekly thread to discuss all things writing! And... to get to know your fellow writers a bit! Each week we will provide a topic and/or a few questions to spark discussion. Feel free to chime into the discussion in the comments, talk about your experiences, ask related questions, etc. You do not have to answer all the questions, but try to stay on-topic! *** #This Week’s Discussion Deadlines; they’re everywhere in the writing community, whether writing professionally or as a hobby. Some authors find they write better under the pressure of a looming deadline, or with constraints like a wordcount or required themes and phrases. But everyone is different. - How do you feel about writing under deadlines? Do you prefer having a timeline or goal to reach when you’re working on a project? Why/why not? - Do you prefer to have constraints to guide your writing? What about a wordcount to write under? - New to r/ShortStories or joining in the Discussion for the first time? **Introduce yourself in the comments!** What do you like to write? #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/discussion in any form will not be tolerated. - **Please try to stay on-topic.** If you have suggestions for future questions and topics, you can add them to the stickied comment or send them to me via DM or modmail! *** ###Subreddit News - Practice your micro-fic skills on or serialize your story on .
