WRITER'S BLOCK: WRITING COACHING GROUPS

I continue to be pleasantly surprised by the power of a small group of people to energize each other.  I am speaking in particular about the small writing coaching group I have been working with.

There is power in numbers.  Especially in small numbers.  And, especially when the intention of all members is to support and encourage their fellow writers.

One of the valuable aspects of the group is the feedback each person gives to each fellow writer.  Typically, each writer is impressed at how they have touched another person's life.  Also, they find that they can see their growth as a writer through the feedback of others.

It is not impossible to write in isolation.  But, it is unlikely that it is as much fun.  I'm not saying solitary writing cannot be fun.  But, the qualities that others bring to the writer cannot be found in solitary writing.

Increasingly, fun as a central principle for writing successfully has been growing in my awareness over time.  Writing successfully, by the way, means simply writing.

I invite you to create your own writing coaching group or join an already exisiting one, or work with a coach to help you form a writing coaching group.  If you are not in a group already why not see how you benefit from participating?
