“The most solid advice for a writer is this, I think: Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep.

This is a guild of writing. Duh. But it's also a place for inspiration. When you have problems on where you need to go next, give it to us and we'll review it, hopefully giving you the ideas and power to continue with it.
While sending a join request, tell a little bit about your past writing experience and include a small piece of your work (no more than 200 words).
If I send you a letter requesting you to join this guild, no work of your own is necessary, as I generally only request people that I've seen their works.
