“The writing process for me is pretty much always the same – it’s a solitary experience.” -Sheryl Crow
It’s interesting because I speak often of the writing process being solitary. I speak often of taking intentional time for yourself. But I also must admit that when I sit down to write, I bring so many people with me. They may not be there in the physical sense, but each individual is a thread being woven into the story. It may not be an entire character that is them, but maybe I remember the unique way they hold a spoon, or the way they curled their lip at a strange smell, or even the way they bring that amazing energy that lights my fire. And so yes, writing is a solitary act in the physical sense, but at the same time, there’s a world of people that show up on that page.
How’s your writing going?
It’s always a solitary endeavor in my case, but sometimes I’ll pass a draft to a friend for comments. That’s more problematic if you’re writing long form. However it can be especially helpful when you’re stuck.

Long hand! I haven’t written a story long hand in a very long time. But I was looking at the Scribe tablet thing so I can write long hand and it’s still online and shareable.
I always appreciate when you stop by and share your thoughts. Thank you

Yikes, not long hand, I meant long form as in novella or novel.
