Let’s be upfront and honest: writing is not easy. Sometimes you have the best idea but no time, energy, or creativity to elaborate on it. Sometimes you want to write, but you feel stuck with no good ideas. Well, in these cases and more, ForgeFiction is here to help.
ForgeFiction is the first-in-kind platform that provides dedicated tools and voting mechanisms for its users to collaborate in creating full-length fictional novels and worlds. You can basically share your idea and have other people write chapters based on it or write chapters based on other cool ideas that the platform certainly doesn’t lack. The created content is published and available to the media and entertainment industry for adapting.
A couple of weeks ago, ForgeFiction launched a new campaign to help people cope with the stress that came with lockdowns caused by COVID-19. It is no secret that art has therapeutic effects. Psychologists even recommend inserting art elements into chores to make them fun and even relaxing. So to help reduce anxiety, ForgeFiction invites everyone to share their stories.
I know you have seen the “Shakespeare writing King Lear while in quarantine” posts like a million times now, but what ForgeFiction is doing is different. It gives you a platform to share your raw and perhaps even unedited stories whether they’re memoirs or fictional pieces. It is your space to write to calm your nerves, navigate your emotions, or simply do a creative task to stimulate your brain.
The cool thing is, the folks at ForgeFiction will be picking some of the submitted stories and will compile them into a book which will be sold in print and e-book formats worldwide. What is even cooler you ask? All the profit from the sales will be donated to Save the Children to help kids who’ve been left without caregivers in this time of adversity.
There are already over 50 submissions and yours could be the next. Check out one of the memoirs for inspiration or a fictional piece to get the creative juices flowing.
I am sure that you have an idea in the back of your mind that is just looking forward to turning into a story, so go write and publish that piece here.
