Deborah Siegel

Write-Minded is the product of two writing communities coming together to support a podcast for writers about writing—and Deborah Siegel, one of She Writes’ founders, speaks to the power of community and why writers don’t let writers write alone. This episode, the final one in the NaNoWriMo line-up, celebrates community, and Grant, Brooke, and Deborah talk about why writing is better, more productive, and more rewarding when it’s not a solitary pursuit.

NaNo Writing Action: Create a Gratitude List

Take stock of your gratitudes! Record at least three gratitudes about your writing practice this week. Use #NaNoWriMo18 and let us and everyone know one thing you’re grateful for surrounding your writing—even if you’re grateful for something that’s challenged you, or made you bang your head against the wall a few times, as NaNoWriMo is wont to do sometimes.
