Hey everyone, I am working on a project for a science fiction college class. Initially I wanted to post a couple short stories I had ideas for on here, I still would like to do that. However as I started brainstorming and planning I realized one writing idea was longer form than a short story. So I still would like to post my short story once it is writing but I was wondering how people who write on here tend to actually start their writing, how much planning happens before ink hits paper as it were? Also how much help can newcomers find on Lemmy? I'd like to do a presentation on Lemmy as a resource similar to how reddit is commonly used. Any help would be appreciated!

As for how much help you can find on Lemmy, I'll be honest, not much. There will be a few positive voices there but you probably won't get more than 5 people giving feedback. This is a small instance on a small social media platform.

However I'll always be here to help on this community.

And @bonesofthemoon@lemmy.world is someone cool who's in these communities too!

Do go ahead and ask for any help you need. You'll have atleast me giving you feedback.

You're a legend down round these parts!

There was a period where I was busy and wasn't posting to this community and your posts are the reason the community survived and even gave me hope that there's actually interest in the community.

Aww I am glad to make it a good place. The membership has expanded a LOT!
