This week's question prompt: Write a response to "Writing is solitary but that doesn't mean you have to do it alone."
It's a tagline I concocted for WBN, based on something I
found myself saying often during my free consultations. So many writers come to us yearning for any sense of connection and not finding it where they live.
Hell, that's how WriteByNight was born. And nearly fifteen years later, we're still at it. Just last week one of our writers emailed me to say "What an amazing community!"
Do you find writing to be solitary? In a good way or a bad
way? Do you have any sense of writing community, where you live and/or online? If not, what would you envision such a community would look like?
Reply to let me know. I'll post some responses in the next message.
Last week's question: What's your desert island book?
Our attic-confined friend Ken H. names Gone With the Wind: "Every one of her 418,053 words belongs there."
Lisa S. writes, "I choose Stephen King's 11/22/63. I bit all my nails reading this."
Old friend Larry B. packs the Oxford Anthology of American Short Stories. I can get behind that. Though it definitely does not work as a flotation
device.
