Hi Jeanette, thanks for this amazing post! So insightful and honest, reminding me that where I place myself really matters, and I can reach out and ground in a supportive writing community. I just want to tell you to scroll through the post because it duplicated and I’m sure you’ll want to edit that.

What a lovely, encouraging post! Where is the best place to find a writing circle do you think? I'm in the UK. Thank you!

Hi Harriett

You could search online at Meetups if you want one In Real Life. But if you're looking for people writing online ( like Substack), I am planning to offer one in the new year. So DM me if you're interested and we can talk.

Hi Melissa

Good to meet you here. I've found Substack a wonderful place for meeting fellow writers with similar goals. I'll also run more circles next year with my tribe so DM me if you'd like to be kept in the loop. . .

Thanks for this inspiration! I’ve never thought about joining a writing group but you’ve made me think about it. I’ve recently started writing and it’s not always easy to keep up and be honest!
