It can be a workshop or class or your own writing group or all of the above. You will get to know others deeply and you will find your truths reflected back. Your work will improve and you will have people to hang out with through your ups and downs. And to celebrate with when your book comes out! (less)

“The farmhouse sat on a rise at the end of a long dirt road, in a clearing surrounded by fruit trees and ninety acres of pines. It was painted white, and peeling, and some former hippie tenant had painted a mandala on the wall just inside the door with fine-point Magic Marker. I painted over it, but it bled through, again and again. I finally left it there, a pale and pastel version of itself, hanging ghostlike in the hall.”
Marjorie Hudson, Accidental Birds of the Carolinas
