Thanks for your comment Mary. Other authors are a wonderful support, as are friends who understand what the “job” is like!

How lovely that you found support in other authors. I had a wonderful experience this morning. I had to call a friend about an appointment, and I said, “We’ll talk again soon.” She told me she is aware that women like me who work at home shouldn’t be interrupted. That’s the first time I have heard that, though my neighbors surely know this.Anyway, a little gem came to me. Mary Latela

Hi Heather! Conferences–or anywhere writers gather–can be so encouraging. It’s always good to feel that sense of community and to know there are others doing what you’re doing–writing, struggling, working through knots and walls and hopefully coming into new territories and open spaces. Good luck in getting those imaginary friends to play nicely 😉

Writing can be lonely (especially when my imaginary friends refuse to come out and play), and the support and camaraderie of other writers is, indeed, priceless. Thank you for your generosity and sending the elevator back down!

Thanks Talya! I love that much of the writing community is so generous and welcoming. It makes it all less daunting and more fun! Thanks for the add on Goodreads. I’m looking you up now!

I look forward to reading it. My book was published one year ago and while I still consider myself a newbie author, I’m always willing to mentor and help other writers and bloggers when I can. Everything comes full circle. I’m adding your book to my Goodreads list!
