A big milestone when you run a community is when members transition from saying “you/them” when referring to the community to saying “we/us”.
The change in language means that they see themselves as part of the community now.
Many said that yesterday’s sessions was the best one yet.
We host these writing events every Sunday morning in NYC!
We’d love to see you at the next one :)

Yesterday, we hosted our first writing session of the year at the new @vercinyc space.
It was a diverse crowd.
During intros, people mentioned they were writing poetry, sci-fi novels, newsletters, blog posts, screenplays, journals and more.
After the 90 minute session, we break out into smaller groups and discuss how our writing session went.
People love this part.
The conversations often go deep because the question of what you write about is so personal.
@kaseyklimes I’ve met hundreds of writers in nyc from hosting the @otwc_nyc sessions every week!
It’s become an easy way for me to see my writing friends often.
It’s also a magnet for attracting writers so I make new writing friends pretty often!
I'm co-hosting Writing Club this Sunday in NYC!
Join me at @vercinyc with @otwc_nyc at 10am on 10/27.
You don't have to be a writer or have a predetermined idea to join.

Writing isn’t a solitary pursuit.
Being a part of a scene is essential for talented writers to thrive through the flow of ideas, the exchange of tools and techniques, and the network effects of success.
Almost two months in NYC - Wrote a quick article about community.
Shoutout to @otwc_nyc - I wrote this at their s4 kickoff today 😌

Here’s a secret that all writers know: it’s not the writing part that’s hard. What’s hard is sitting down to write.
We want to help you conquer that resistance and get that piece out of you that you’ve always wanted to publish.
That’s why we’re introducing the Write-a-thon.
