✍️ Writing
A community for writers, like poems, fiction, non-fiction, short stories, long books, all those sorts of things, to discuss writing approaches and what's new in the writing world, and to help each other with writing.
Rules for now:
1. Try to be constructive and nice. When discussing approaches or giving feedback to excerpts, please try to be constructive and to maintain a positive vibe. For example, don't just vaguely say something is bad but try to list and explain downsides, and if you can, also find some upsides. However, this is not to say that you need to pretend you liked something or that you need to hide or embellish what you disliked.
2. Mention own work for purpose and not mainly for promo: Feel free to post asking for feedback on excerpts or worldbuilding advice, but please don't make posts purely for self promo like a released book. If you offer professional services like editing, this is not the community to openly advertise them either. (Mentioning your occupation on the side is okay.) Don't link your excerpts via your website when asking for advice, but e.g. Google Docs or similar is okay. Don't post entire manuscripts, focus on more manageable excerpts for people to give feedback on.
3. What happens in feedback or critique requests posts stays in these posts: Basically, if you encounter someone you gave feedback to on their work in their post, try not to quote and argue against them based on their concrete writing elsewhere in other discussions unless invited. (As an example, if they discuss why they generally enjoy outlining novels, don't quote their excerpts to them to try to prove why their outlining is bad for them as a singled out person.) This is so that people aren't afraid to post things for critique.
4. All writing approaches are valid. If someone prefers outlining over pantsing for example, it's okay to discuss up- and downsides but don't tell someone that their approach is somehow objectively worse. All approaches are on some level subjective anyway.
5. Solarpunk rules still apply. The general rules of solarpunk of course still apply.

It's hard enough to motivate yourself to write when you have a personal connection to a story, so I am dubious that this kind of relationship would be easy to find.
I would suggest that the best person to write your story is you. Even if you aren't a skilled writer, your heart and passion will go a long way. And if you are working on a story, then other writers will be much more inclined to help you out if you're stuck or struggling on a particular part (even if they don't do the actual writing for you).
Once you have your draft, then you can enlist the help of an editor to make it flow better.
Thanks!
Please see my other answer for a lot more info.
You're right only I know my perspective of my life, however I don't think I can tell a long and complicated story in any coherent way. My brain does not work that way. I think I'd like 4D paper or something.
(no I don't think I am great with this, it's a rather big issue)
