I’m so excited to say that we have Academy notebooks available for sale now! I’m OBSESSED. You can find them here: https://members.esmewang.com/notebook

As a community welcoming to authors living with limitations, I'd love to start a conversation about your limitations and how you've developed your writing, editing, and publishing processes in collaboration with those limitations. I say "in collaboration" because I've witnessed so many authors, in the several years I've worked for author communities, go through cycles of being challenged by their limitations, and then positively collaborating with them to create the work that is most meaningful to them. So... let's talk about limitations and your processes!

I find that I write better when given assignments by a writing course and produce fewer poems the rest of the time. I meet with a critique group about once a month and it helps a but I'd like to write more consistently. How do you keep yourself accountable & productive over time?
