To stay consistent, I joined a blogging accountability group

Curious about this part, how does it work?

Thanks for the question, Ruan. We have a scheduled day when we all submit an outline and a couple of possible titles for our next blog post. Group members can give feedback and ask questions about these outlines and titles. Then a week later, the rough drafts are due. We again post our drafts for feedback, work on our drafts based on the feedback given, and publish our posts in a few days. For our submissions and discussions, we use a community platform called Circle and it works similar to Slack or Discord. Let me know if you have any other questions.

How do you find such a group, or is this a group of people you already knew?

It is through this writing community: bloggingfordevs.com/pro/

You can also start one of your own. Start by posting on social media and asking if people want to join. You can also ask specific people who also blog if they want to be accountability partners.
