When was the last time you got to meet someone and feel like you became instant friends with them? As I get older, I sometimes think that my group of friends is dwindling. But it doesn’t have to be that way. If I’m open, I have plenty of people that I’ve met virtually as Story-Power guests who could become dear friends.
Barry and I were privileged to meet Lorraine Haataia, Story-Power podcast guests in 2022, and her husband Bob on Friday. They were coming for the weekend to Bisbee, and since we live right on the way, she asked if they could meet us someplace. I loved the idea of meeting one of my podcast guests in person. We invited them to have tea and a snack at our house. The four of us had a wonderful chat about our businesses, retirement and travel. It was much too short, but it was a good start to becoming dear friends.
Lorraine is dedicated to giving writers tools and support with her business Prolific Writers Life. One of the things most writers say is that writing is a solitary pursuit. Lorraine hopes to change that by creating a writing community where writers support each other. I love that idea. She’s got a new book coming out soon, for which we will be chatting again on Story-Power to help her promote it. The title is, Finish Your Book: Plug Into the Power of A Writing Community and Get it Done. If you join her newsletter, you can snag a free copy. I don’t know other writers, but I get stalled on writing my novel. Either the ideas are not there, or the situation in the world isn’t giving me material, or I just lack motivation. A community of people who understand the ups and downs of any creative endeavor can be a big help.
If you’re a writer and would like to find a community to help keep you motivated, or give you great ideas, then Prolific Writers Life might be for you. Below is the link to my conversation with Lorraine, episode 51 June 22, 2022. Take a listen and see if you might benefit from some support.
Here’s hoping you are enjoying the season and finding community with friends and family. Thanks for reading, liking, and commenting. I appreciate you.
Blessings,

Have you ever experienced life shattering events? Yeah, after the last few years, most of us have.
