As far as writing alone, I’d encourage you to check out https://stopwritingalone.substack.com . You might be on the other side of the planet but there may be value in our group all the same. And keep writing!

Congrats! How awesome that joining a writing group helped you reset and put pen to paper! It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a really good writing group. They can be so much fun.

I'm fairly new to writing things that people can read, so I find your story very inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

So glad that you wrote this and that your writing has become uncorked. You got me so excited I went over, subscribed to Nicole's substack, joined her platform and plan to write live with the group this afternoon (something, I might add, I have been doing on a weekly basis with a group of writers since the pandemic began though I am winding it down to devote more focus on my novel.)

I think writing with others is a scary prospect for many, but, as you found out, it can have tremendous positive impact. I look forward to catching up to your latest novel, but I have a deadline so am trying (not always successfully) to limit my time on other things.

Be well.

Oh wow, that's so cool! I would join you today but I think I'm going to be watching the Jan 6 hearings. But I'll hopefully catch you next month! Writing prompt parties are so much fun and I always get a story - or at least a good start - out of them. Have fun and say hi to the gang for me!
