Calling All Writers, Creative Thinkers and Headline Helpers!
Today, we are launching a new writers club, called the 7 Cups Writers Guild! This club will be for those of you who are natural readers and writers.
Project Goal: To create unique, interesting content to share on the 7 Cups blog for the enjoyment of both our community and outsiders.
Wed like topics to be interesting to a wide variety of people, and not necessarily based on personal stories and listening tips. The goal is to create and share content that can inspire and interest a broad range of people.
One way to think about this project, is headline grabbing, informative content. You can gain some inspiration from the below sites, but this will be the 7 Cups version!
BuzzFeed: https://www.buzzfeed.com/

I am so happy I joined this community, you guys keep showering us with so many oppurtunities.
This is absolutely Wonderful!
I love you guys at 7 cups!! :)
I thought I'd ask this question here in case the answer will help others in future...
What format do you need/want the article in? Is MS Word as an attachmentok, or is there another preferred format? Also would you like the image as an attachment or actually placed in the article?
I wanted to do this post,this is not poetry or anything I just wanted to write it. " You hurt me. You break me so much that my friends had to pick up all the little pieces of me that you let in the dirty floor. I miss you and I don't understand why, maybe I am stupid and I love and care way too much about people who don't care about me, but I miss you and you know it and you use it against me to hurt me more because you know you can control my feelings. I hate you but I love you, you hurt me and I get upset but I need you. " I'm sorry if this is stupid.
Laura, this sounds likea great opportunity to reach out to a broader audience. How do I start, are there deadlines, and what are the topics of discussion. I am not able to open the spreadsheet. Thank you
Excited to give this a try, I love writing!
I love writing and already have my own blog. I write about Aspergers Syndrome, depression and LGBT issues! I like to try to keep my style of writing lighthearted, but also write in a more serious tone when it's appropriate.
I lovewriting and would love to write for you! Where are the list of topics?
I have completed my first article! :D So do I just copy & paste it to the email?
Hey there,
so I'm about to work on an article and I would be really glad if somebody could look over it?! In other words I'mlookingfor an editor sinceEnglish is not my mother tongue and so far my article is far from perfect...
Anyone interested?
I could help with proofreading. Would that be helpful to you?

Anyone interested?
I'm majoring in English, I could help you out!
In fact, if anyone needs help with editing or wants a critique, I'd be happy to help. I edit for my college's literary/arts publication and am studying creative writing, so I have a fair amount of experience.
That would be so great! How can I contact you though, it looks like I can't send you a message on 7 Cups since you can't listen to teens apparently?
Yeah, I am not a teen listener. @lauras is there some way we can get drafts of things we've written to one another besides the regular messages?
hey tylerrrr would you mind reading mine, if so msg me?(:
@Chiara900
I'm the Associate Copy Editor for my school's newspaper, so I could definitely help, if you'd like to send it my way. I can connect with teen users.
Actually, apparently I can't now. That was a change made as of late. So sorry!
@chiara900 I can look over it if you would like! I don't have much experience, but I can catch some errors if some were made! :) If you would like someone more experienced then thats okay! :D
Oh, that would be really nice of you! Even if you don't have much experience, that's okay :) I will message you once I'm done (... well actually I said I'd be done on the 16th - my article is about time management by the way - and ironically I'mstrugglingwith my own time management at the moment, busy busy busy,ahaha, so I hope I can get it down by next Sunday)
