#letstalktuesday I asked this on my personal FB yesterday, so this isn’t necessarily a writing-specific question, however, I do feel it relates very much to the way we show up to the page, on the page, in community with few low writers, and in engaging with our readers. We are living in dramatically unique times. As we continue to March forward, each of us carrying our own griefs, anxieties, furies, and more, I am wondering how we are to walk back in our worlds “as if” not much has changed. Show up to your writing, your job, your family, your holidays and traditions, just like the old times we have longed for. I think we need to be taking dramatic self-care actions in order to fortify ourselves as we move forth. I am seeking my recipe for such fortification these days, adding and subtracting things to my life one step at a time, but it is all (like writing a book) a seriously long process and I feel like I am in that maddening first draft “pantsing” my way through this messiness wondering how brutal the revision stage will be.

For writers in the United States, next week is a bit of a conundrum. Questions like WHY IS #NANOWRIMO IN NOVEMBER? Will be wept into pillowcases as cooking, travel, hosting family, and other conflicts begin to bubble up in the way of lots of productivity. Are you one of these writers working extra hard this week to clear your plate for the big day? Or do you plow through these events without a frazzled feather? How do family events and holidays affect your writing productivity? #letstalktuesday #stopwritingalone #podcastforwriters #writerchat #amwriting #writershelpingwriters #writershouse #writerfamily #thanksgivingiscoming #writingcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CWV0CoyrOqU/?utm_medium=tumblr

This #letstalktuesday is a little late due to a non writing life block that disrupted my entire day: a flood in my basement. Which leads me to my answer to this question: the number one non-craft thing that gets in the way of my writing is my home — whether it is a crisis on flood-level, or just the day to day maintenance of things, I find that juggle to be the one that needs the most work. I am getting better at it every day. What is your one big block? #writingchat #writingcommunity #podcastforwriters #stopwritingalone #writerlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CVg28_Kr3nJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s #letstalktuesday here in Stop Writing Alone and what I want to know is WHY you want to stop writing alone? There are endless reasons — support, camaraderie, critique, promotion, edification, etc. — what’s yours? What was the first thing that drove you to seek out #writingcommunity and what keeps you on this quest? When we identify the WHY behind our search, it becomes that much easier to find what we are looking for! @stopwritingalone #writinggroup #writibgevents https://www.instagram.com/p/CUFTb4rLGpJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here in NYC, school started yesterday. I think we are one of the latest in the country marking the slow close to the #backtoschool season. Does this season affect you or your writing habits? If so, how and how can you use this moment as an opportunity to create new habits? #letstalktuesday #stopwritingalone #writinglife #writinghabits https://www.instagram.com/p/CTz3XTXrpvU/?utm_medium=tumblr

Did you miss our #letstalktuesday last week? It was my anniversary, so I took the day off! But last week’s podcast episode of @stopwritingalone , which was inspired by the letter from the editor in September 2021’s @thewritermag, has me thinking about all the wonderful reasons we write and the validity of them all. Too often in #writingcommunity, the discussion of publication excludes so many of our writing friends who have other goals or desires on their writing journey. In her letter from the editor, Nicki Porter asks why we can’t look at writing like running. When you see your neighbor out for their morning run, you consider them a runner based on that action, they don’t require an official bib and medal for that distinction. Your neighbor is a runner because she runs. You are a writer because you write. Your neighbor might run for health, for stress relief, to relive her glory days, or maybe she is looking to be competitive — any and all of these reasons are valid. The same is true for writing. So what is YOUR REASON? Knowing that this is a safe space, with fellow writers who understand that completely, why do you write? #stopwritingalone #whydoyouwrite #writersunite #amwriting #keepwriting https://www.instagram.com/p/CSZsYIhrMbC/?utm_medium=tumblr
