Good people! 🙌 We hit 100 members this week. That’s a huge milestone — and a testament to you for showing up for your creativity and for each other. I spent years writing alone, wishing a space like this existed — one built on honesty, momentum, and genuine support. When I launched The Forge, I figured maybe a dozen writers would show up. Now it’s become something real — because you made it real. Before we move on to what’s next (more content, courses, deeper dives), I want to start a tradition: 👉 Naming and counting our wins. Too often we writers only celebrate the big ones — finishing drafts, landing reps, or getting 100 funny, articulate, smart-AF people to join a Skool group in under a month (are you kidding me?!). But it’s the small victories that actually make those big wins possible. ✅ Wrote a single page when you didn’t feel like it ✅ Reworked a scene that wasn’t clicking ✅ Offered feedback to someone who needed it ✅ Put your own work out for notes even though it scared you ✅ Showed up to a new community even though part of you thought, “What’s the point?” Those quiet, consistent wins — that’s what builds creative lives. Anyone can write when they’re inspired. Real writers show up anyway. My win this week: You. This community. 100 people proving that small steps, done consistently, create something extraordinary. Now your turn — what’s your win this week? Drop it below. 👇
