We’re doing a short series on New Year’s Goals for writers in 2023. Yesterday I mentioned the first goal, which is writing a book this year. Today, I want to challenge you with a tool that will help you get there—joining a great writing group.

Let’s be honest: writers are solitary creatures by nature. We’d rather spend hours in our room alone, working on content and stories that live in our heads, than get out and interact with real humans.

I’m an introvert, so I understand this tendency. (I’m the guy who considers a “wild New Year’s Eve party” to be ordering from DoorDash and staying up till 12:05 a.m. …)

But I’ve also learned that you won’t get very far in life if you only depend on yourself. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made was to get involved in various mastermind, business, and writing groups over the last few years. It has literally changed my life.

Back in the Fall of 2020, in the middle of the pandemic when so many people were trying to find their way, I wondered about the best ways I could help writers. I started this podcast and the Daily Writer Club that November. Both have been successful, and it’s been a blast to see how the Club in particular has helped writers collaborate, get clear on their goals, write books, and make more money in their writing business.

I want to invite you to check out the Daily Writer Club by visiting https://dailywriterclub.com. You can give it a try for two weeks at absolutely no cost.

Even if you don’t join the Daily Writer Club, I want you to consider at least getting together with a couple of writer friends once every week or two to talk about your writing and your goals.

Let me be clear: you will not be successful by yourself. You need a team of supportive writers who have your back. It’s not going to happen by magic, so take the initiative to check out the Daily Writer Club, or invite a couple of friends to form your own group and meet on a regular basis.

I promise this will give you more motivation, ideas, and creative energy than you’d ever have on your own!

Today’s challenge: Check out the Daily Writer Club at https://dailywriterclub.com or ask another writer friend or two to meet on a regular basis to talk about your writing.
