Wonderful piece!!!! So much truth and great takeaways. I think that the "adding words to a document" is the best advice to any writer. You really describe very relatable journeys that the writer or artist deals with over a lifetime. Of course that writing community is a powerful tool for the soul of any artist - especially with such a complicated art such as writing. Thank you for writing this.

So true. The writing community grounds us, cheers us, pushes us forward, comforts us, and nurses the wounds. They critique, workshop, but don’t judge. They welcome us, and let us know that our “crazy” parts are also our creative parts, and they make us who we are. Thank you for a beautiful reminder!
