From Edie: Rachel Britton shares why writers need community and how finding your people can overcome isolation, build lasting connections, spark creativity, and strengthen your writing journey. On a special note, I'm super excited to have Rachel here as a guest poster. She's the director of the reNew Writing Retreat. This is a wonderful event and I'm excited that I'll be there this year. Whether I go or not, this is one of the events I always recommend to writers, so be sure to take a look at the reNew Writing Retreat website!
Why Writers Need Community: How Finding Your People Strengthens Your Writing Journey
by Rachel Britton @RachelJBritton
Writing is inherently a solitary endeavor. We sit alone in our creative spaces, staring at a flashing cursor, wrestling with words, and trying to capture the stories and messages burning in our hearts. We try to convince ourselves that because the craft happens in solitude, the writer must thrive there, too.
But that is a beautiful misconception.
