Community: How do we find "our people"? (and what if we're socially awkward?)

Trying to 'emerge' as a writer is tough enough, sometimes you just need a shoulder to cry on or a bit of lasting encouragement to just keep going, so having a community of supportive, likeminded people around you is fairly vital. But communities don't just *happen* - how do we find our "tribe"? And why does it always feel so awkward? Especially for those of us who aren't the most confident socially, it can be a pretty daunting prospect.

Join us for a very sincere and open chat about putting ourselves out there not just as writers, but as people too; looking for not just a network, but friendship. It's not always easy (even the American struggles!) but having a kind and honest space to share work, have a moan and seek guidance could not be more important on this journey!

And if you don't know where to start, WE HAVE A DISCORD, so come on over and share your favourite turtleheading joke - https://discord.com/invite/Sa6TNJzs
