写作 is a Social Activity

Our main goal is to build community together as writers. We strive to create an inclusive and collaborative space where we can share our ideas and experiences as we learn from each other. We believe that writing fosters our connections to one another, as we create meaning not only through words but also in the dynamic between writer and reader.
