BellaOnline Forums Career Fiction Writing The Iron Writer

As many of you may know, am the Crime site editor here but I am here to talk about a Facebook group called the Iron Writer. It is a fun and supportive writing group plus we have weekly writing challenges where the owner of the site, Brian Rogers, will post four elements and you are to use those elements in a 525 word story.

The stories get voted on and a winner is chosen plus you can receive feedback from other irons on your story. There are published authors on there as well and they are very supportive of your work and will help you get published as well.

Just search for the Iron Writer on Facebook and search for the actual website online. It is a lot of fun and you should check it out if you have the time.

One of he stories I did had the elements:

a cactus couch

a mastodon head

a judge's gavel

a newborn baby

Those of us in the challenge had to write a story using all of these elements in it. It is quirky and fun.

Brian Rogers is also working hard to try and get the Iron Writer into schools.

If you are looking for something challenging and fun to write or you just need a kick start to get your writing career started, come check out the Iron Writer.

I have also posted about this site in the Iron Writer too.

Thanks Vance. I'll check it out.

Sounds like fun! I'll check it out. Seems when I'm part of groups I start really writing fast.

It is a lot of fun and it really does help you get your writing on track and if you have a writer's block on your own stuff, there is plenty of support and ideas that can be had and doing the four element 500 word challenges really makes you think out of the box when it comes to writing.
