The authorities ensured we were all kept safe and everyone followed the strict rules. It will provide you with mental stimulation, intelligent conversation and keep you from getting lonely, homesick and possibly depressed.ĭuring the COVID pandemic, my husband and I felt very safe here in our little corner of Spain. I would suggest that if you are considering moving abroad, find a group of writers to meet with, even if it is not a formal group. I always return home with my head full of ideas. Each group has a different focus with a variety of writers from all over the globe. Since then I have been invited to join two other groups of writers, including a group of poets. It was the best thing that could have happened, as once a week, I get to meetup with like-minded individuals who are willing to offer ideas and suggestions while we share our work. I showed up at one of their meetings and was welcomed with open arms. That was great, but what about the rest of the month? I was chatting with a friend of a friend who, when she realized I was a writer, suggested I check out a group of English-speaking writers who met once a week at a place only fifteen minutes from where I lived.
I continued to meet once a month with my critique partners in Canada via Skype and now Zoom. I had an amazing network of fellow writers in Canada who encouraged and motivated me. As a writer, living abroad can be very lonely.
