Who's in your circle?
Who are the regular characters in your day-to-day life, but also online?
Do the people you surround yourself with have similar goals?
I've been running an online writing community since 2018, with the foundation of the experience being the regular Co-Writing & Chill sessions we enjoy each week.
I intentionally call them "Co-Writing & Chill" because that's how we want the writing to feel — easy, effortless, relaxed. When our nervous systems can relax, only then can we write.
Since 2018, one of the biggest challenges has been to describe just what happens in a co-writing session. It wasn't anything I'd participated in before I created this sacred container myself. And members constantly describe it as "magic."

The Law of Proximity suggests that individual elements grouped close together are perceived as belonging together.
This concept also applies to the people you surround yourself with — online and off — who influence your personal and professional growth.
When you belong to a community with a common goal — like writing, you automatically experience a boost in productivity and inspiration.
If your writing community looks more like a critique group, where you might receive challenging feedback on your writing, this could be keeping you stuck. Giving feedback is an art. In our co-writing sessions, we intentionally nurture a chill environment where members can bring their full selves and receive encouragement.
Surrounding yourself with others with similar writing goals helps you overcome writing resistance. When everyone else in the virtual or physical room is writing, you may as well buckle up and get writing too.
Prioritizing writing earlier in the day helps most writer-entrepreneurs make the most of limited willpower, side-stepping decision-making fatigue completely!
Relentlessly auditing your surroundings, both physically and online, to make sure you're associating with supportive and uplifting people who are also interested in growing as writers.
