Writers--Single But Together

As writers, we're all individuals, but we're also a part of a special group. We can each claim the title of single writer, and in the same respect, we are a group of writers who have special ties to one another. As the poster says Together, we create.

It's true that we each create different types of writing, but we do create together, as well. Other words might apply to the lot of us--a writers' clan, a pod of writers, a school of writers, a bevy of writers, and more. What we're termed is not important, but what we create holds great importance. 

Who understands a writer better than another writer? It's one reason many of us like to be part of a writing group. It can be meant for critiques or merely a social gathering of several writers who meet for coffee and chatter. Or it could be a large conference for writers.

You might belong to a state or national group for writers. All the information is aimed at you and your writing cohorts. Mitzi down the street, who is a great hairdresser, would get nothing from our kind of meetings. She may be a wonderful person but doesn't belong to our craft. Mitzi may create a great hairstyle, but she doesn't know how to create the kind of things we do. 

Even though we are all writers, none of us write the very same kind of thing. We are not all essayists. We're not all short story writers or novelists or poets. Our whole group does not write picture books for children or educational articles or high literary fiction. We're individuals, but together, we create. 

Together, we create entertainment, informative pieces, inspirational writing, memoirs and more. We each write as a single, but we're all one part of the whole group of writers. Consider that each one of us is like a single piece of a jigsaw puzzle. Put us all together, and we create quite the masterpiece. 

Be proud of being one single writer who helps make the whole group. We are bonded by our craft. When I attend a writing conference, I scan the room, look at dozens of other people who are just like me. They are writers, and I feel a kinship with them. 

We are writers and together, we create.
