Very cool. There are many aspiring entrepreneurs on HN and writers are entrepreneurs, too, so there may be something for the other to learn from either side. Spotted this article about time management on the site which could be helpful to any hacker holding down a day job and a side project. http://www.sfwa.org/2017/06/finding-elusive-writing-time/

Not sure why this is titled "A Hacker News For Literature". The site is very clearly writing focused and the about page says "This is a community based on lobste.rs. First and foremost, Write.Narwhal.Space is a link-aggregator for writing-related articles. If you're interested in learning more about the writing field, bettering your writing in general, or simply talking to other people interested in writing, definitely take a look around!"
I would suggest changing to "A Hacker News for Writing"
