I don’t care how brilliant or inspired my writing is on any given day, it loses steam if I’m doing everything on my own.
There’s something indescribable about sitting right next t to someone while I work that transforms me, my work, and my time into something of increased worth.
Whether it’s cleaning house side by side, brainstorming creative ideas together, or just voicing fears out loud to someone who understands me, I can’t function for the long haul without the help and presence of others. My position is this: We are all hard-wired for community.
I wrote longer version on this essential quality of community in a guest blog post last week. It’s been getting very good responses. Please check it out and let me know what you think.
