Camaraderie: a feeling of trust and friendship among a group of people who have usually known each other for a long time or gone through some kind of experience together (Collins dictionary)
As someone who would love to find a writing community but struggles because of all my other committments I'm going to check out the links you provide here. I've been to a few LWS sessions, but struggle for consistency, so that is my intention for the next few weeks - to try to attend at least once a week and build from there.
Thanks so much Donna, for reading and replying. It is a challenge carving out time to write when there's so much else competing for our time and headspace but I've found Writers Hour so helpful and it's the same with the monthly goal setting session. I hadn't done one for a while but the September workshop has helped me get back on track. I think the next one is 2 Oct but I'll see if I can find a link.
Ahh I’ve seen the goal setting sessions advertised. The timings don’t work for me but I think you can access the replay. I did manage to get to the lunchtime session yesterday and was surprised at how much I achieved. Definitely going to make the effort to go again.
I loved this post, Harriet. A timely and gentle reminder to embrace all of the communities I'm involved with out there (for writing and for life in general!) and some great tips on how to find other writers. And as a left-hander myself, I'll be intrigued to hear about the notebooks! How have I been blind to this option all my life! Or perhaps I didn't take it fully onboard when and if I saw such notebooks... in this world mostly designed by and for right handed people?!
Happy memoir-reading - as someone writing (and thus reading!) fiction, I'm always looking for something different to read so perhaps will pick something off your list!
Such a lovely post Harriet.

Thank you, notebooks are a constant search so I'll keep you posted on any discoveries!
