#AToZChallenge: Village

Standard

A wise, much-maligned woman once reminded us that “It takes a village.” Not only is that true with children — the original context — but much of life itself. And as writers, we need to find our villages.

Some are annual, like this challenge, where we discover new friends and find old friends alike, each of us supporting one another in the daunting task of blogging 6 days a week whether or not we have something to say. Some villages collect over time, those kindred spirits you come across who share your view on the work of writing.

The latest village making me warm and fuzzy is the one that emerged organically yesterday, the one I’ve dubbed #MAYkingItWork (uh huh),  a rag-tag bunch of us, all confessing to moldering unfinished work, all committing to pick something abandoned to work on in May.

Have something you’ve abandoned and want to give it another try? Feel free to join us. Everyone’s welcome in this village.

In this modern age, we’re no longer limited by geographical boundaries and distance. Our villages can include anyone from anywhere. Our A to Z village spans the globe, over and over and over again.

Take that, xenophobia.
