When creative support groups become stuck in collective resistance

My writing group started as a way to support each other's creative practice but it's become this space where we mostly complain about not writing, and I can feel us all getting more discouraged rather than inspired, but I don't want to abandon the people or lose the community we've built.

What we've seen

A gathering intended for mutual encouragement has become a place where shared struggle reinforces stagnation rather than movement.
