We're tackling a common misconception this week: that writing has to be a solitary pursuit. Helen unpacks why we default to picturing writers working alone, and makes the case for why writing alongside other people, particularly virtually, changes everything.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why the image of the lone author at a mahogany desk is a myth, and where that image actually comes from
- The three reasons we default to thinking writing has to be a solitary act
- How writing without commitment or accountability leads to drift, doubt, and eventually giving up
- Why virtual writing sprints and body doubling can be more effective than writing in person
- How the Scribe Circle works, and how to find or build your own writing community
