Our First Free Writers Lounge

I just got off the phone after our first online Writers Lounge.  It was a concentrated hour of writing from topic to topic. During calls like this I am itching to write too. But here is what I've learned over the years. Once I get going I don't want to stop. I would forget to change topics. I would lose myself in my own writing and nobody would be there to facilitate the process.

So instead, I feel into the group energy. I sense what topic would next add to the collective creative fires and increase the flow for everyone involved. And I get excited as I imagine each person taking time out of their day or evening to call in from around the world.

Here are some valuable lessons harvested on the call.  I am so appreciative of all who joined me at the first Writers Lounge and thank you to those who shared their nuggets of wisdom for everyone to benefit from.
  • We block ourselves with "over -thinking".
  • With practice we can get out of our own way.
  • It's good to recognize when our "inner critic" or "judger" appears on the scene.
  • Writing is Healing.
  • Moods can shift depending upon the topic helping us to make choices that are most meaningful for us.
We are doing it again!
The next FREE Writers Lounge is scheduled for Thursday December 10th.
Register here and send your topics to prepare the creative fires.

All are welcome!
