Dropping Competition in Favor of Community

May 13, 2021

Competition has a time and place, but if you are unwilling to release it at all, you may be standing in the way of finding writing community. This week Nicole reads an excerpt from her most recent draft of the Stop Writing Alone book which focuses on the benefits of dropping competition and scarcity mindset in favor of writing community.
