\r\n

You have a brilliant idea for a book. Or a blog that you really have to write now. And those website texts have also been in need of a refresher for a while now... Recognisable? Fortunately, you are not alone, because for many people \u2018just doing it\u2019 is a major shortcoming of a writing job. Because how do you start? The result: complete stagnation, hours of staring at a blank screen, doom-scrolling or just getting rid of that laundry after all....<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

From stalled to restart<\/strong>
\u2018That's exactly why we started Write Club,\u2019 says\u00a0Mirjam de Boer<\/a>, one of the initiators. \u2018During a brainstorming session at Seats2Meet, the community was asked for ideas: what cool things can we do to bring people together? That's where I got into a conversation with Bradley and Kristel, both of whom are also - partly - breadwinners.\u2019 That's how the initiators came up with the idea for Write Club. \u2018We all know that kind of jamming,\u2019 said\u00a0Kristel Keuren<\/a>, owner of The Storytelling Buro. \u2018We thought it would be nice to be together then, so you can share struggles and questions. And that turned out to work!\u2019<\/p>\r\n

People mix
<\/strong>Definitely, as Write Club is now in its sixth edition and is being crowded. \u2018The nice thing is that it's such diverse people,\u2019 Mirjam says. \u2018From freelancers dusting off their website texts to beginning writers and from content creators to dyed-in-the-wool writers who are now - finally - getting around to their own blogs and books. That mix makes it really cool.\u2019

Writing with results\u00a0<\/strong>
Kristel adds: \u2018Yes, and it's really about doing. We warm up together with some short tips and then dive into our screen for almost 2.5 hours.\u2019 The nicest feedback so far? \u2018That people have never had such a productive Friday afternoon!\u2019 exclaims Mirjam. \u2018And the whole feeling it gives: everyone is writing for themselves, yet in those 3 hours we are a unit.\u2019 A real club, then? Mirjam and Kristel grin broadly. \u2018Absolutely!\u2019<\/p>\r\n
