Find Your Authentic Voice, Share Your Story

Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been writing for years, finding a community that encourages and inspires you can make all the difference.

I’ll be honest—there was a time I drifted far from myself, forgetting the gift God gave me and not using it fully.

As women, we often have many talents, passions, and interests. For those of us with ADHD or autism, our unique brains can make focusing a struggle.

But when we hone in on just one thing—yes, pick one and focus—everything starts to align. Otherwise, all the pieces pull us in different directions.

I wanted to leave writing behind because it got harder for me. But here I am, rediscovering this path and realizing I can now relate even more to others who are managing and motivating themselves to write.

The truth is, we all need an editor or mentor—someone who reads our work, offers feedback, and holds us accountable. During my career, I had many editors, some of whom were truly exceptional and made me a better writer.

divine act of creation

Writing should connect the body and soul, a divine act of creation each time a letter or word is formed, just as God formed the world.

As the Torah says, “God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light” (Genesis 1:3).

Each time we write, we engage in our own form of creation—bringing something new into the world through words. Creative expression is not just a task; it’s a sacred act.

What You Can Expect

Our group offers a unique mix of inspiration, learning, and collaboration:

• Daily WhatsApp Check-Ins: Start your day with creative prompts, useful writing tips, and inspirational messages to fuel your journey.
• Writing Support & Feedback: Receive thoughtful feedback (if desired) as you share your work and learn from others.
• In-Person Meetings in Zichron Yaakov: Build deeper connections with fellow writers and share your work in a warm, encouraging environment.
• Flexible Participation: Join as your schedule allows. No pressure—just a supportive space to grow and explore.

“And God formed man from the dust of the earth and blew into his nostrils the soul of life” (Genesis 2:7). So too, each word we write breathes life into our ideas.

• Accountability: Checking in with fellow writers keeps your momentum going.
