Thanks for this, I couldn’t agree more. My family have no interest in my writing. I am going to take your advice and join a group.

Thanks.

Hi Michele and Jeanne!

Thanks so much for reading my guest post.

Michele – Sometimes I can’t believe how far flung my writer colleagues are. We have the Internet to thank for that!

Jeanne – I’m a big fan of mentoring, both formal and informal.

Laura,

Some great ideas for making that critical connection with other writers! A great read!

Mentoring (as opposed to being mentored) is another great way to connect with other writers/bloggers. We can even do that in small ways by simply offering help or advice whenever it’s needed, even without a formal mentoring relationship.

Many bloggers do this as a matter of course, because it just comes naturally to us to pass on the knowledge we’ve gained through experience to others who are newer at the game. While this isn’t why we do it, somewhere down the line the help we’ve given a particular writer may just come back to us in some fashion just when we need it most. That’s the wonderful give and take of networking!

Excellent post!
Jeanne

These are all great tips and are so true! I love keeping in contact with writing friends. I think it’s awesome that we can connect with writers from across the globe yet feel close enough to learn and grow together, sharing each step of the way.

Great article, Laura!

Thanks Tamara! I'm honored to be one of your favorite bloggers. Hi Lis! Isn't it true, though? I think that we're all richer for the contacts that we make. laura's last blog post..Why It’s Imporant to Be In Touch With Other Writers
