Safety in Numbers Writing Group

Ongoing

Do you want to write but can’t seem to find the motivation?

I get it. Life is overwhelmingly busy. There are hundreds of thoughts and tasks that demand priority at any given time. Besides, writing is supposed to be lonely, right?

What if you made a commitment to show up every week and write for 20 minutes? And what if you weren’t alone but had other people around who are working on their own writing projects?

Safety in Numbers is an opportunity to commit to your writing. It’s a chance to show up and write with other people while keeping your own words private.

Details

Your monthly membership gives you access to four writing sessions every week. You can show up for all of them or just a few – you will always be welcome!

Writing Schedule:

Sundays @ 12:30pm ET
Mondays @ 7am ET
Wednesdays @ 8pm ET
Fridays @ 7am ET

 

I loved joining the Safety in Numbers writing group. Erica has created such a welcoming and supportive space, and even though we’re all working on different things, there is the friendly solidarity of writing together.

Writers In Progress

“Unblock, create, and thrive—one word at a time.”

*Writers in Progress is more than a writing group—it’s a creative sanctuary inspired by the wisdom of Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic and Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way. This group is designed to help writers reconnect with their creative spark, build a disciplined writing practice, and explore unblocking techniques that nurture the artist within.

Through a mix of structured writing prompts, artistic exercises, affirmations, and supportive feedback sessions, we’ll create a space where inspiration flows, courage grows, and words come alive. Whether you’re navigating self-doubt, battling perfectionism, or simply seeking a creative community, Writers in Progress is here to guide you on your journey to meaningful progress.*
