Writing may be a solitary pursuit, but your writing life doesn't have to be.
The Narrative Mind Community brings writers together through a shared curiosity about writing, creativity, and the thoughts that shape our writing lives.
Membership is free, and there's plenty to explore. Whether you're deep into a manuscript, finding your way back to writing, or discovering what's possible for yourself as a writer, you're welcome here.
Your self-coaching workbook for the writing life
Get immediate access to Between the Lines, a self-guided introduction to examining the thoughts and narratives that influence your experience as a writer. Through reflection and practical exercises, you'll begin noticing what's happening in your mind when you sit down to write, share your work, or pursue what matters to you.
The workbook is yours to keep and revisit whenever you need it.
A shared freewriting practice that gives both imagination and introspection room to wander.
Twice a month, we meet on Zoom for an hour of spontaneous writing, conversation, and connection.
Inspired in part by the psychological tradition of free association and the Surrealists' experiments with automatic writing, our gatherings invite us to follow a thought without immediately judging or organizing it.
Some prompts encourage creative play. Others help us explore the narratives shaping our writing lives. We write in short, five-minute rounds, with opportunities to share afterward. Reading aloud is always optional.
When: First and third Tuesdays, 6:30–7:30 p.m. Central.
A monthly letter about the writing life
On the last Wednesday of each month, you'll receive a note from The Narrative Mind featuring writing-life reflections, new essays, useful resources, community news, and a look at what's coming up.
One thoughtful email a month, with separate invitations and reminders for our gatherings.
One signup gives you access to all three community benefits. Your copy of Between the Lines will arrive as soon as you confirm your email address, and you'll receive future newsletters and invitations to The Page Is Yours.
By signing up, you agree to receive the workbook and ongoing emails from The Narrative Mind, including the monthly newsletter and community event invitations. You can unsubscribe at any time.
