@jenniferjordan I have never been part of a Twitter writing community, or one in real life for that matter.
But I did make some connections with new folks on Mastodon who were doing #TheArtistsWayAtWork / #TheArtistsWay or were otherwise on some kind of creativity journey and it was great.
I want to do more essay writing and happy to connect on that with you or others. Hope you find the right connections to support your writing dreams!

How COOL! Congrats @srfirehorseart on the overwhelming support from kickstarter and on moving this out into the world.
That's such a lovely thing to do for the local lit fest, too. I have signed up for a weekend writing retreat next month to celebrate my birthday and (hopefully by then!) completing #TheArtistsWayAtWork and it will be a totally new experience and community for me.
Doing some writing from exercises in #TheArtistsWayAtWork and my cat has miraculously settled in to be cuddly and not to interfere with what I’m doing.
Also started listening to #JSBach cello suites while writing and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Helps to keep things moving and transfer me into a more expansive mental space.
A few reflections after a few weeks of #MorningPages as described in #TheArtistsWay and #TheArtistsWayAtWork:
I'm doing pretty well at doing morning pages every day, especially compared with prior attempts where it never lasted more than a few days.
But I'm *really* reluctant to do them first thing in the morning. I have to have coffee first, certainly, but I'd like to do them first thing after that since the authors are so adamant about it.

@srfirehorseart @simonpayn @andyluke If it's working for you and boosting creativity, sounds like a good idea to me.
Really different from the way I'm doing it and interpreting it, but I can't think in pictures on the page--I'm a little jealous about that! I have drawing anxiety, but words flow easily.
Not judging & revising seems 100% in the spirit of morning pages as described in #TheArtistsWay and #TheArtistsWayAtWork 👏
@simonpayn @siona I'm trying to get back into writing morning pages this week. Then I plan to start the 12 week program next week (Jan 8-12) as Week 1, with Week 12 ending March 31.
I'll post each week with #TheArtistsWayAtWork and share how it's going. Hopefully you can join!
And I'll send a direct message this weekend to ask about your interest in having a virtual meeting every few weeks and the timing of that.
Also tagging #TheArtistsWay and #JuliaCameron in case others might want to join.
