This is a place for you to make any type of posts. You are particularly encouraged to make the posts that would be considered as useless or of terrible when you show it to a critic or the general demographic readers/writers. (that doesn't mean all posts here on this sub are terrible though- uninhibited writing can produce good piece of writing)

Examples- A detailed description of what you did all day or week, your ramblings or complaints/gossips about someone/something, description of a place or a room, your raw thought process(writing for writing’s sake), how you really feel about something, etc.

What’s the purpose of this subreddit? To encourage you to communicate- particularly the written form of communication. Think of subs like TIFU, offmychest, confession,etc where you have to have some kind of attention worthy story/situation. Here, all you need to do is type something and post it .

People all around us place so much value on quality. In order to provide quality content ourselves, we have to start somewhere. A baby learns to speak by making random noises and intangible sounds at first. They fumble around and fall when they learn how to walk. Then as time progresses, they slowly learn to speak and walk properly.

Think of this subreddit as a springboard for your writing endeavors.

Benefits:

1.) This subreddit encourages you to post anything no matter the quality of the content.

2.) You write here for writing's sake and/or communicate with other like-minded people. You are not expected make to make your best post. In real life, you only communicate with others if there is a need that needs to be fulfilled by you or for others most of the time.

3.) It encourages a writing habit. It also acts as a springboard to quality communication. You can't win an Olympic medal in one day if you are an aspiring athletic!

4.) The act of writing can be cathartic.

There are two important rules you have to follow as a submitter and as a commenter.

As a submitter: Please be very open towards criticism. You could probably do this writing by yourself but the real benefit comes from you seeing other people's reactions to your writing.

As a commenter: Never attack OP for their submission. But you are allowed to give away your honest reactions to their posts. Its not compulsory but, try to keep the top level comments greater than 5 sentences.
