WRITING COMMUNITY
Again, these are not erotica-specific, but are great places to find writing communities.
- Pathfinder’s Collective
- Again, Cat Rambo’s discord is a great place as well
- If you’re local, you might check out Clarion Writers and Cascade Writers.
- Look for silent reading clubs or silent book clubs in your area! A lot of them are full of writers too — and some of them also host writing get-togethers. You can search “silent book club” on Insta and find a list of ones that are local to you. (This is my local one as an example: https://www.instagram.com/silentbookclubkenmore/ )
- A fantastic book on making and deepening friendships: Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make–and Keep—Friends by Marisa G. Franco PhD
