Plot Twist: Writing Doesn't Have to Be Lonely
Writing doesn't have to be a lonely endeavor. As a former "hermit writer" turned community advocate, I've experienced firsthand the transformative power of connecting with fellow wordsmiths. Whether you're battling writer's block or seeking industry insights, a supportive community can be your secret weapon.
Joining a writing community isn't just about networking—it's about igniting your passion and elevating your craft. When you surround yourself with like-minded creatives, you'll find inspiration in unexpected places and gain valuable feedback that can take your writing to the next level. Plus, you'll build relationships that could open doors to publishing opportunities down the road.
At Howdy Curiosity, we're creating an online haven for writers of all stripes. From book clubs to writing challenges, we offer a space where you can nurture your creativity, stay accountable, and connect with others who share your love of the written word. Don't let your busy life push your passion for writing aside—join our community and rediscover the joy of creating alongside fellow wordsmiths.
Do you like interesting new ideas, too?
How about insights into the craft of writing? Entrepreneurial success and failure stories? Bad business advice myth busting?
Us too. Sounds like you're in good company with us and our bi-weekly newsletter.
Need Inspiration, Motivation, or Accountability for Your Side Projects?
The Howdy Curiosity Community may be right for you. Side effects include: feeling great and doing greater.
1 - Join a Cohort
We offer two cohort options:
- Entrepreneurship Cohort for folks who have their own business, are starting their own business, or who are considering starting their own business.
- Writing Cohort for folks who are focused on creative writing, be it fiction or nonfiction.
2 - Participate
Each cohort includes members-only forums, mastermind groups, and book clubs that have been carefully tailored to their members' needs and goals.
The cohorts are designed to facilitate collaboration and networking so that you're consistently moving forward and not having to always rely on yourself– you always have a support system cheering you on and propelling you toward your goals.
3 - Thrive
As if reaching your goals, making new connections, and learning cool stuff along the way wasn't reward enough, Howdy Curiosity Community members can also earn rewards– like free books, gift cards, and more– just by being active and friendly community members.
