SmokeLong Fitness. Come for the writing; stay for the miniature mountain goats. (Sign up before Nov 30th for December start.)
It’s not a cult. But if it were a cult, it’d be one of the nice, harmless, mildly eccentric ones where people just make art and raise miniature goats as pets and help each other become better writers and sing a lot of karaoke in a quiet mountain community somewhere. www.smokelong.com/smokelong-fi...

i recognized this around age 9. my characters all had debilitating injuries like getting shot in the eye with a bb gun or losing a leg in a hunting accident, and then went on a journey which changed the world, and, more importantly, found them friends

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.
