Welcome and thank you for joining my Writer pilgrim by So Elite!
I’m very appreciative to have you join me on this journey and thank you for showing interest in Writer pilgrim by So Elite’s stories, poems, articles and courses.
A pilgrim is a traveller, a peregrine, someone who is on a journey to a place that is spiritual and perhaps even sacred. Writing is a journey. It takes you to places far away and feelings you did not expect to find in the process. In the middle of nothing, you find you, what you like and who you are.
As a free subscriber, you’ll receive weekly emails from me containing poem, a short story, blog notes, observations and/or photos. I share reflections on the craft of writing and each week I run Thursday SPAWN, a live session where we chat about writing, Substacking and offer support to one another for an hour in the comments of that week’s SPAWN edition. Tuesday has the Prompt Station where you submit a story for feedback based on the prompt of the day. Throughout the year you get poems and the regular Song Title Poetry challenge too and the podcast Writer Pilgrim Sounds to help you with your creativity and writing.
You will also find live TINAWW sessions, which are writers workshop for the paid subscribers only. This Is Not a Writer’s Workshop, TINAWW, are workshops to help you on your writing journey, whether you’re an amateur or pro and create healthy writing habits and consistency to perfect your craft.
This is an invitation to find out what goes on in the world around us and within us and a space to explore unsung heroes and perspectives. Finally, of course I hope you will get inspired to write, paint, run or simply discover our community where you are allowed to be you.
Let’s look after each other and keep encouraging each other to do what we love and grow from.
You will be getting posts in your inbox 1-7 times per week and sometimes a little quieter during holidays and summer.

Testimonials
“Your stuff and your shares have been so helpful. I’m overwhelmed with the reading, but I’m reading, reading, reading, absorbing. And you’ve been my guide here on Substack. The community is overwhelming. I’ve not had much experience with it. This is part of my domestication as well as education.”
"You challenge your readers to think outside the box, reach into their creative selves and express whatever comes to mind. I really enjoy your Substack and would love to spread the word."
“Not only is Writer Pilgrim by So Elite a wonderful poet who manages to post beautiful poems and incredibly fun poetry prompts regularly, but they are also one of the friendliest and most supportive members of the Substack poetry community!”
I love what you do!
