Writing as Resistance Support Group with Sarah Lewis

Bring us your writerly woes! Bring us your writerly wins!

A mid-month check-in support group type of affair for anyone writing a story as part of the Writing as Resistance Festival, where you can bring your progress and your problems and we’ll have a good ol’ chinwag.

We’ll be checking in with your progress, celebrating your wins so far, and troubleshooting anything that’s not going right for you – that could be a goal setting issue, a plot problem, a character problem, or maybe you just need to escape your writerly isolation and see some other humans . Bring it all to this open Q&A!

Who You Are

  • A writer who is writing a political or powerful story and wants a check in with other humans
  • A writer who wants to celebrate their last two weeks of writing
  • A writer who has a writing-as-resistance related problem they need to talk over
  • A writer who needs or wants to hang out with other writers who are attempting to tackle similar issues
  • A writer who just wants to say hiiiiii to everyone else

What You’ll Get

An hour long Q&A with WHQ director and chief of getting shit done Sarah Lewis

What We Discussed

  • How long it takes to write a novel
  • Dealing with the infernal inner critic
  • ADHD and writing
  • The power of finishing things
  • Managing familial expectations of your writing
  • Being braver with your writing
  • An impromptu writing exercise about shame.

Read this before going to the forum!

The widget that lets you sign into the forum with your WHQ login has given up. 

We are trying to coax it back into existence. So far neither bribery, begging or crying has worked. We are currently trying shaking our fists at the sky and going ‘grrrr’.

You can still get to the forum though! Do this:

  1. Click the button below
  2. On the forum login page, click reset password USING THE SAME EMAIL YOU USE FOR WHQ
  3. Click the link in the email and reset your password

IMPORTANT: This means you will have TWO (2) passwords/logins. One for the WHQ main site and one for the forum. It’s a pain in the arse. We’re sorry. It is temporary, but at least you can dick about on the forum again. OKAY BYE.
