I am so incredibly excited to have you all here. This community was born from a simple belief: everyone has a story worth telling. Whether you are writing a technical manual, a historical deep-dive, poetry, or your very first novel, you’ve found a home here. For a long time, I viewed my own writing through a narrow lens. But through the process of writing and publishing my first book, I realized that the "grind" of storytelling is universal. Whether it’s research, overcoming writer's block, or balancing the 8:30–4:30 work day with the passion of the pen, we are all navigating the same waters. The 101 Club is a space for us to share our wins, troubleshoot our drafts, and stay disciplined in our craft. This isn't just about my journey; it’s about ours. A little about me: I’m Alex. I’m a Veteran, a father of two, and a full-time professional. Balancing family and service with the discipline required to become a published author has taught me that writing isn't just a hobby—it’s a mission. To get the conversation started, I’d love to hear from you: What are you currently working on? (Blog, book, journaling, etc.) What is the biggest hurdle you're trying to clear in your writing right now? Let's get to work. — Alex
