What is a support system?

Well, you literally would know what a support system means.

However, a support system comprises people who encourage, motivate, and provide you with constructive feedback.

This can comprise your fellow writers, family members, friends, or even mentors.

If you want to build a support system, join writing groups, attend workshops, or partake in online forums.

Plus nurturing or facilitating the system pertains to regular transmission of information, active listening, and appreciating others for their support.

A strong support system helps writers in overcoming self-doubt, stay accountable, and celebrate victories.

Therefore, you should invest your time and effort in building and nurturing a support system. This will improve your overall writing experience.
