Scenario

When creative groups become competitive rather than collaborative

My writing group has been meeting for three years and we've all gotten better but there's this unspoken competition happening now where we're not really helping each other improve anymore, we're just performing our talent and I miss when we could be vulnerable about our bad drafts.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Success within a supportive group can paradoxically destroy the vulnerability that made the support possible.
