It’s so easy to neglect writing. What with the million things to check off that to do list and the need to be in five places at once. As for writing goals, well they gave up waiting yonks ago.
…Because it ain’t easy (even when you find the time), when it’s just you. Staring at a blank (or demoralisingly bad) draft on a screen. And there’s a toddler screaming outside the door. Not to mention the deliveries that keep arriving and the phone that won’t stop ringing.
Sound familiar?
That’s why Orwrite was created. To give writers space to do what they love- what they do best- surrounded by a supportive community of fellow dreamers.
