The Guerrilla Writers Tribe is for writers who must labor in day jobs to support their writing careers. Guerrilla writers steal time throughout the work day to hone their writing craft. They use guerrilla tactics to write when they can, often risking reprimands or termination if caught. Guerrilla writers have become masters at having multiple screens open at work. One screen is for show. It keeps the management happy when the boss walks by. It has corporate’s insidious TPS report open. Some painful, mind-numbing work data. But the other screen . . . that’s where the magic is. It’s where the guerrilla writer is creating content or studying the craft. It’s where the guerrilla writer’s heart is.

What does Guerrilla writing include? Everything! It’s the novel. It’s the screenplay. It’s the short. It’s the blog post, Snapzu post, Reddit post. It’s digital. It’s in print. It’s whatever the guerrilla writer lives for.

Guerrilla writing doesn’t stop at work. It happens on the subway ride, in the checkout line at Walmart (good god, heaven help us), at the airport, at your aunt’s mandatory Sunday dinner . . . wherever. Guerrilla writers have become experts at writing in the cloud because they are on mobile devices or they have to move from device to device, location to location.

Guerrilla writing is not just a “wherever.” It’s also a “whenever.” Guerrilla writers sneak in five or ten minutes whenever they can to work on their tradecraft or finish a chapter or polish a scene or do . . . whatever Haiku writers do.
