— — WE’RE ON A BREAK —
Thank you for taking interested. We’re sorry to inform that we had to take a break with the project. It will be back eventually! We just don’t know when…(06–04–2019) att: Asterisk Project team.
___________________________________________________________________
The Asterisk Project was created out of two passions: writing and the English language. The idea of the project came about in 2017 with Ana, a brazilian English teacher. At first the Asterisk Project was meant to be a class project, but soon it grew out of the classroom and into the online world.
The idea for the project was simple: every 2 weeks each member picks a prompt and everyone else has to write about it. The thing is: because most of our members are non-native English Speakers we also have a system to comment and correct some grammar mistakes that might occur. So, in the end of the week, members can comment and/or correct each other submissions.
Our main goal is to create a safe enviroment where everyone can feel comfortable to write and be creative in English.
We post the compositions for each week here on Medium, but if you wish to stay anonymmous it’s fine too!
The project has grown and now we have other features:
1) A Discord Channel: where we have open mic sessions (Members read their compositions out loud and we have conversations about it)
2) Asterisk Articles: Members can publish articles about literature, culture, translation, languages and much more in our publications.
3) Social Media Posts: We try to post passages of our member’s compositions every week on Social Media in a creative way. Check out some examples here.
We are always working on making the project more fun and creative.
