Getting reading to start a low-commitment Creative Practice community that is all inclusive: fandom works creativity, original works creativity; writers, artists, graphics makers/graphic designers, photographers (virtual, digital/film, video), fiber craft/fiber arts, musicians, programming/making electronic things for fun, etc etc.
The idea is far less about showing your work --- there are already many places for that --- and far more about committing to a creative practice, maintaining that practice, and setting challenges that make sense for you, and reflecting on your creative practice. Goal setting where goals are widely defined to include not just output but the kinds of experiences you want to have while creating or with other creators. Self education info. Etc.
Considering challenges like:
(1) Creative Practice Bingo Cards with a wide range of possible prompts to make cards very customizable
(2) Monthly Creative Practice Pledges that focus on practice, process, and learning rather than output goals (because we already have many other challenges for that)
Also want the community to serve as a place for:
(A) Collecting and sharing various info on creativity, creative practice, creative process, etc.
(B) Providing encouragement, waving pom-poms, finding accountability partners, etc.
(C) Sharing progress, insights, and different approaches to starting or restarting a creative practice, to keeping it going, to juggling different kinds of creative activities, etc.
(D) ??? TBD !!!
Will make DW the primary space for the community in order to community-lock members' post but also use one or more other sites (tumblr, etc) as satellite spaces. Might eventually consider creating a Discord if there is enough interest and someone offers to help with that further down the road.
If this interests anyone or anyone has an idea, suggestion, or question, please comment!
