As someone who works in a creative field, I go through periods of artist's block that can last weeks or even months. I've tried joining various creative encouragement communities, but many of them seem to be more about showcasing finished work than actually helping people through creative blocks.
I'm looking for creative encouragement communities that specifically focus on the process - the struggle, the false starts, the frustration. Places where people share their unfinished work, their failed experiments, and their strategies for getting unstuck.
What I don't want is another space where everyone posts their polished final products and you feel like you're the only one struggling. That actually makes the block worse for me.
Has anyone found creative encouragement communities that are truly supportive during creative blocks? I'm interested in groups that might use prompts, accountability partners, process-focused sharing, or other strategies specifically designed to help people keep creating even when it's hard.
Writing support groups would be particularly relevant since I'm a writer, but I'm open to any creative discipline.
