First of all, what is Hope*Writers?!
We write meaningful words without sacrificing our meaningful life.
We are still real writers even if we never write a book.
We build benches, not platforms.
We know how to hustle without losing our heart.
We champion the success of other writers.
We don’t wait to write until we feel qualified, picked, or inspired.
We believe we have a message to share and a reader to serve.
We refuse to take our work or ourselves too seriously.
We understand fear is normal, but courage gets the final say.
We celebrate progress and take our next right step in love.
Who is struggling with writing?
The Problem
Hope*Writers support team spoke with 80+ members after the COVID-19 social isolation period hit and recorded their experiences. Everyone is going through a season of loss.
The 5 major areas of loss writers are experiencing right now:
Routine
Focus
Confidence
Connection
Income
Loss of Routine ● Completely disrupted schedule means no time to write or writing can’t happen during my usual time. ● How do I start over again and find my writing rhythm? ● How do I do this when I’ve lost my quiet space and routine? ● Where and how do I establish a rhythm?
Loss of Focus ● Brain fog. ● People are feeling more stressed and that is leading to an inability to focus, be productive, and keep motivated. ● Loss focus of who they are writing for and about with all that is going on. ● Stuck in a loop of non-action.
Loss of Confidence ● Imposter Syndrome ● Who am I to address all these hurting people? ● Someone more accomplished should be doing this. ● They want to provide hope but don’t want to add to the noise.
Loss of Connection ● Literal isolation. ● Feels untethered. ● Can’t go to the writing conference. ● Can’t meet up with writer friends.
Loss of Income ● May have lost day job or furloughed. ● Added pressure to provide for their families. ● Makes writing feel that much less important, like a “want” and not a “need” right now. ● Writer goes from dreaming to “How dare I dream” ● Guilt
If any of this is you, guess what? There is hope!
Solution
While Hope*Writers doesn’t offer a quick plan for “making it” they do simplify what might feel complex. A determined writing path helps to cut through the brain fog and re-establish a routine. A supportive community to help close the gap of isolation. A resource library to make progress towards writing goals.
