Welcome to the second writing club update! (See the previous update here.) I hope you’ve had a pleasant month, and are managing to stay cool (this is me presuming northern hemisphere anyway). One short month ago, a month seemed like such a long time. But now I see it for a just a couple of weekends, and a sprinkling of free evenings.

I’m keeping this update brief, since I’m behind on my own goals. But it’s raining here, and I don’t have to go to work (at my job anyway) today, so I’m excited to get back to it! May you be similarly blessed with dreary weather and lack of responsibilities on this Monday.

Participants

As always, there is no pressure to have completed your goals. But sharing how your month went is super beneficial not just personally, but for the rest of us. Additionally, participants and guests are encouraged to chime in with any comments or questions they may have on project projects, writing club, etc.

    I totally get how sharing your art is hard, especially something so raw and close to the heart like poetry. I’ve never had any skill in poetry and the few times I’ve tried, I feel I was blushing with embarrassment just sitting there alone. But I guess that’s also the power of poetry in a way…

    That kinda reminds me: the whole reason I kicked off this writing club was because I wanted to “practice in public” with other people, where we could share how things are going, post snippets, and just like actually take an interest in eachother’s stuff, rather than be each stuck on our own little islands of self doubt or inertia or whatever.

    Anyway, I’m glad to hear you’re getting back into it - I sincerely hope you keep it up! (Maybe even have a goal of writing another poem this month? 😉)
