Somewhere along the way, many of us learned to treat writing like a luxury instead of a necessity. We get busy. We get tired. We tell ourselves we’ll come back to it later. And then one day we notice life feels heavier, noisier, harder to hold — and we can’t quite name why. This space exists for that moment of remembering. Holding Orbit for Writers is a place to stay close to the page — imperfectly, gently, together. No pressure to produce. No requirement to share. Just a steady place to return when you realize how much writing matters to you. If you’ve drifted and are finding your way back, you’re in the right room.

Okay, my creativity is bursting into some other outlets than writing this week. @Jezabelle Jackson and I recorded our first podcast. At first we thought Monday night would open into a group setting, but I think we’ll keep the Podcast and the Community Gathering separate. We can gather for conversation, quiet writing together, or what have you. I’m thinking Saturday morning coffee chat? Sunday? Middle of the night for us night owls? What would work for you?

Hey everyone, I'm Rose Colbourne I’m writing a paranormal mystery series with ancient magic and a big old mansion full of secrets. It follows a woman who inherits responsibility for the estate and slowly realizes there’s more to her world, her family, and her own life than she ever imagined. It’s filled with witches, shifters, Fae, and other magickal beings, along with ancient, long-buried secrets tied to her bloodline. I also have a YouTube channel and just started a Skool group where I help people who've had enough of barely surviving financially and want to turn their income into a life they actually enjoy. I'm really looking forward to this group, I think it'll give me an opportunity to give myself permission to write instead of always looking at it as a luxury.

I’m learning my way around Skool and have found a few communities that genuinely help me stay inspired and oriented. One is a photography community — I don’t have fancy gear, just a poet’s eye and a love for framing a moment. Another is The Skool Hub, which has been great for understanding how Skool works and how communities grow. I’m also enjoying Skoolers for Builders and Advertise Your Skool — both are helpful if you’re building or thinking about starting a community. The links below are affiliate links, which means I may receive a small referral benefit if you join — at no extra cost to you. I only share communities I actually find useful. Skool’s larger goal is helping 1 billion people find community, which feels surprisingly wholesome. If you’ve found fun or meaningful Skools, feel free to share them here — there really is a space for almost anything. And if there isn’t? Start one.

Okay - so fun - in a conversation in another Skool, I met a lady who's writing a book - that has so many of these elements, it could be Taylor's next favorite book. I'm so excited for her! Just a fun video!
