The new Beautiful Writers Group. Have you seen our latest upgrades (including a 3rd weekly Zoom Write-In starting tomorrow)? 🎉 On today’s blog, I talk about a secret place I go to connect with writers. My safe place, where I can be vulnerable & talk about everything related to writing and publishing, especially the hard stuff. It’s where I feel the most support, and other than my writing retreats, where I give the most, too. Okay, it’s not technically a secret, but The Beautiful Writers Group, my membership community, could be seen that way for all I talk about it. Meaning, I’ve practically kept it a secret for the past decade, rarely posting about the BWG until recently. For starters, our community of just over 100 love bugs has always felt sacred to me—some of our members have been with us since 2014 when @daniellelaporte and I first launched the group, and the expert interviews became the impetus for the Beautiful Writers Podcast a year later. Those writers feel like family. 💜 But also, I lived with painful pangs of guilt for not playing full out in my own group. So much so that I seriously considered closing down the BWG several times. Read the behind-the-scenes details, including why I’m so happy I’ve instead expanded our offerings and re-energized our group (even past members are returning). I’m having the BEST time! Check us out for accountability, camaraderie, and community. Fun! LOVE + Write on!

Wow! So grateful. 🙏 #repost @maeyoshikawa. Have you read @linda_sivertsen ‘s #BeautifulWritersBook yet? And did you know that the audio book is available now on Audible? This book is SO packed with writing tips... and industry-navigating tips… but the thing is, they pretty much translate into Life tips😘 It’s also, to my knowledge, one of the few “places” in the world where we can “meet” Thomas One Wolf through Linda’s experience with him🩷 Of all of the wisdom droppers in this beautiful book, he’s still my faaaaavorite, and this is still my favorite quote. So, I am just gonna go ahead and take this opportunity to declare to you who it is that I need to be. These days, I truly only want to be me. That is, Mae “effin’” Yoshikawa. Lol. What makes Mae Mae? That’s still in the making. But I’ll tell you what I know so far: Mae is, in a sense, neither here nor there. Neither Japanese nor American and a bit of both at the same time. That could drive a person nuts, or one may call it the best of both worlds. It depends. Mae can be perceived as kind and also harsh, but that’s mainly because she is committed to Truth. Mae’s soul is bold. So when sh$t hits the fan you will see her show up. But her character may at times be soft in nature. Likewise, some know her as intelligent in some ways, and others, in other ways an unimpressive ethereal type (aka airy?!). Mae is also small and big at the same time, and she’s sure she’s not trying to play you with all these riddles. She secretly hopes you might simply embrace her like a Zen koan paradox instead. Mae’s learning to embracing her blended paradoxes in the same way, and she’s getting there (she thinks). And so, Mae is delighted to serve to be the living embodiment of such... eeerrr… weirdness? Spilling out of the box? Namelessness? WTF? If I can just get over trying to make sense of it all, I think that’s who I need to be! 🤍🤍🤍 #recommendedreading #recommendedbooks

I've been listening to your book on Libro.fm all day! I own a bookstore so I have a lot of author friends and they all love you. I had no idea. When the student is ready, the teacher will come I guess.
