We are a small team, and find ourselves needing to prioritize how much time we spend on socials. While we will post occasionally here, the best way to hear from us is to get on our email list. We only send a few emails a month. 🌿 🎉

There are online groups too- they are not all in person. 😀

Handmade Seller Magazine @handmadeseller.bsky.social · Apr 22

Not sure if this would help, but have you tried to see if there is a local shut up and write chapter? They have chapters all over the world. You might be able to attend a writing event and ask in those groups.

I would pick the second option- just from an optimization of production processes and quality of life perspective so you don't burn out. Oh geez, sorry for the pun. 🤦‍♀️ or am I? 😀

Anyone here on Skylight yet? I would love to hear from anyone that used TikTok as to what they think of the early version of Skylight. Any time Mark Cuban is backing something- I am curious because he usually plays the long game. 😀

This is awesome!
