Writing groups are great for extra security and support! Thanks. 🙂

Yes - most of the tips come from my standard self-defense courses. 🙂

Write with a friend. Yes! As a lover of and coordinator of two different weekly write-ins for the O.C. Writers group, I am surrounded by like-minded authors focused on their projects. Not only does the group dynamic provide the necessary security blanket, the energy of all those creatives powers the muse and provides endless encouragement. I'll be sure to share your post with the groups next week. Several of them are solitary writers, too.

That is awesome that the coffee shop looks out for you. We could all use a place like that.

I have written in coffee shops, libraries, and a local restaurant. The restaurant was my favorite because they knew me and would set me up in a booth where I could see the door. I felt safe there because I knew the waiter was keeping an eye out for me as well.

Great reminders! I also especially appreciate the reminder to trust our intuition. This is something that is much too easy to dismiss.

Yes - we need to not be afraid to stand up for ourselves if we perceive something to be wrong. Thanks for your comments. 😊
