We get to see the world through our own eyes and we get to participate in our own ways. The awesome part is that we also get to contribute what we see too. That’s the fun thing about writing; it can be all of that in one. Yes, there’s a lot of time alone putting words down on the page, but there’s time to share your thoughts during creation. There’s time to get feedback. And there’s time to gift all your hard work to readers around the globe.
And you know what, I found the perfect quote by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer from The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society that said, “We clung to books and to our friends; they reminded us that we had another part to us.”
And isn’t that it!
Writing alone and with others is the point. To help expand our perception just a little further than it was when we started. To explore new ideas even when they get under our skin. To take risks and have people right there next to us.
It feels right.
Writing communities feel right.
