Hey everyone,I wanted to share something personal. The past few weeks have been heavier than usual for me, and I’ve been navigating a really difficult time behind the scenes. I’m doing my best to stay consistent here because this community genuinely means a lot to me. Your messages, your creativity, your growth, all of it keeps me going. If you’ve been finding value in this space and you feel called to support, I do have a Buy Me A Coffee page. There’s zero pressure. The community will always stay open and free, and I’ll keep showing up. But any support right now would help me keep creating, posting, and building what we’re building together. buymeacoffee.com/dannydragone Either way, thank you for being here. This community has been a bright spot for me, and I’m grateful for every one of you.

What is your biggest challenge to attention or biggest distraction that you wrestle with when you need to focus and write? Mine might be YouTube videos? How about you?

Allow yourself to write badly. Don't critique. Don't spell check. Finish the story, warts and all, then polish it into something great. If you don't finish it first and edit after, you can't create your masterpiece.

What motivates you to keep writing even when it’s tough? Let’s inspire each other this week 💪What

Hey everyone, friendly reminder: This community only gets better when we actually talk to each other. Don’t be shy — post your work, ask questions, share a win, rant about writer’s block, whatever. If you’re waiting for the perfect moment to contribute, spoiler alert: it probably doesn’t exist. Just jump in. And just to be clear, you don’t need to be selling something to post here (in fact, I'd rather you ease off on it). Think of this like a writer’s room, a creative coffee shop, or a slightly chaotic but supportive group chat where we’re all trying to get better at what we do. So go ahead… make a post, show up, and let the rest of us know what you’re working on. We’re here for it.
