I spent years not being able to write anything, and when I finally found the inspiration again I needed to be kept accountable. Once Written was a group that pushed me to keep writing, dealt with my bouts of doubt, and helped me figure out how writing would work best from me. They're a bunch of weirdos and sometimes make me want to poke them with a stick, but I doubt I would have finished 3 first drafts and one rewrite in the span of a year without them.
When I stumbled into this group, I had a basic idea of a story to publish and some motivation to keep at it, but I never would have dreamed of coming as far as I have. In a matter of weeks, thanks to the support and people in this group, I published my first novella. Since then, I have been featured in a newspaper. I am participating in a multi-author box set with best sellers. A bookish box will center around one of my books for Fantasy February, and so much more. Yes, I could have gotten where I am on my own, but I doubt it would have happened as quickly, and I know it wouldn't nearly have been quite as fun.
