The Live Well Writers group is a safe place for discussion and writing. We can write and talk about our lives, our health and experiences. The writing exercises set for us in the group help us with our writing. This also gives us confidence to tackle subjects that we might not otherwise have written about. Having to write with a set time limit means that staring at an empty page is a thing of the past. Getting something on paper, even if it is later edited, is a great start to writing on many subjects.

There are a ton of things I love about our Live Well Writers’ group. We all come from very different backgrounds with such a wide range of experiences and skills that each story written illuminates alternative parts of the writer’s character. I enjoy the fact that we can share almost anything and that we are all improving our writing and editing skills as we progress. Sometimes stories can be funny, heartbreakingly sentimental, a real ‘Journal Entry’ or completely fictional. There’s never any pressure to read our pieces but sharing builds connections and stronger friendships. I love it.
