March 16, 2025: The Second Invite

My first novel came to life over a decade ago.

I loved the process, but without an author community, I had to teach myself the ins and outs of craft and publishing. It was often a lonely road.

Then, I led a workshop at the local library. To my surprise, twenty strangers showed up. At the end, several suggested we meet again. So, after grabbing their emails, I asked the library if we could make it a regular thing.

Over two years have passed. We’ve met each month since, and now the group has nearly 150 on the list. Every session is a full house.

Most importantly, I finally found my writing people.

Today was our monthly gathering, and we talked about AI. Another great discussion and more connections made.

Proof that “we should meet again” can be the start of something special.
