FAQs
Do I have to be from Sweden to join?
You are welcome to join regardless of your geographical location or connection to Sweden. Just let me know your time zone!
Which languages can I use?
You can use English, Swedish, or Polish. If you speak more than one of these languages, feel free to mix!
Should I have artistic skills to join?
No, you don’t need any prior artistic experience or skills. Life writing is an open autobiographical practice. There is no right or wrong way to create your life writing works — you decide what they will look like!
What if I’m not creative enough?
You are creative enough. Creativity isn’t about big artistic gestures; it’s about thinking in new ways and exploring your ideas. Give it a try, and you’ll see you’re creative.
I identify as queer / norm-critical. Can I join?
Sure thing!
