The Power of a Writer's Circle

If you’re a writer you know that sometimes it’s a drag to get your butt into the chair and sit down and write. Especially by yourself.

It’s so easy to get sidetracked. Because the blank page is daunting. It would be fun to think of some ways to make it less so. I could do that now but that would be another track to the side.

There is a solution. And it’s a powerful one.

A writers’ circle.

There’s power in + one. A circle of committed writers who benefit from an appointment to get to their practice. A circle of writers who understand what each is going through, who will gladly hold the space and contribute their energy so everyone gets to do what they love, what they are called to do. A circle that offers support and encouragement along the way.

As a member of a writers’ circle you get to experience this power as you:

• Show up. Are accountable to yourself as well as the others. Just that alone is precious.
• Feel normal! Writing can be solitary but, hey, these other folks get you! You’re not alone.
• Draw on the energy of the others as well as contribute your own. It’s palpable, even in a virtual setting.
• Give yourself the gift of time to start something new, work on a current project, restart an abandoned project, edit, organize or plow through that second draft. It’s sacred time for you and your writing.

Do you love to write? I do.  I block time on my calendar for it, even if for five minutes. I schedule shared virtual work time with coaching clients for it. I schedule time with writing buddies. I journal. I write for my business. I write stories and an occasional poem leaks out.

The point is that I schedule it because sometimes it’s just too easy to get sidetracked. And writing in the company of other writers? Well, that’s just the best!

Power up your writing time with a Writers’ Circle at The Purple Ink Cafe. It’s the solution to getting sidetracked, to avoiding, procrastinating or feeling overwhelmed.

All you have to do is show up!
