Thank you! And that makes sense.

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊

I always confuse the order of the o’s in school with the order of the ones in cool. They sound the same, but the order is switched! 🤦🏻‍♀️

🤢 the only reason I’d want to see those people is to ensure I never buy their books.

Thank you!

I thought writing was pure escapism for me. Yet somehow the novel that got me an agent & the one we currently have on sub were both inspired by the medical issues I wanted so badly to escape from. The first one was more addressing trauma, but neither were subjects I planned to write about initially.

I know my local SCBWI chapter has a PB critique group that meets once a month during our monthly meeting. (There are also MG/YA groups there). Storyteller Academy might have critique groups for members. (I’m not a member though so I’m not certain about that one.)

Agreed! I’ve been so inspired reading my critique groups work. We’re all so different, but reading them help me see how I can improve my own work. It’s awesome.

😳 Honestly I’ve been struggling to connect with the community here, but yesterday’s event was engaging, so I’m hopeful.

No, but I loved connecting to so many different writers & seeing what everyone working on.

I feel the same way about my critique group. The deadline, accountability, & community they bring each month helps keep me motivated.

Success! Thank you 😃

For my 1st 2 novels I was. True Plantser. For the one I’m thinking of next I’m more of a Neutral Plotter.

This sounds so sweet! 🥹
