Half Quill - User Group Interview

Hey! I'm building a small writing platform and want to make sure it actually helps people like you. This takes about 3 minutes. No right or wrong answers. I'm genuinely curious about how you experience writing, not how good you are at it.
Starting March 23th we will be developing this project in a highly iterative fashion and we would love to be able to reach out when we are stuck with a decision so we can make the optimal place for everyone to enjoy themselves and grow as creative people.
The mission: Help people actually finish creative writing by making the process social, fun, and low-pressure. Lower the barrier to entry so that anyone who wants to be creative through writing has a place to do so.
