Writing is no longer
as Solitary as it once was.
When we write we are
alone, no one can do it for us, and we
can't have a group of people around chit chatting, it can be lonely
and tedious work, but also rewarding.
These days, thanks to
social media, we are no longer as alone as we once were. We can pop online and post our work, ask
questions, gain friends and colleagues, and share in each other's trials and tribulations. For myself, I've found this encouraging and it's
pushing me to work harder and accomplish more. I enjoy both giving and getting
feedback from people. Knowing that even one person liked a story I wrote makes
it all worth it for me.
I have even recently
joined a few authors and created an anthology of our stories to share with all
of you, which would have been unfathomable ten years ago. So much has changed, and I am embracing it and running with
it. I even recently joined Twitter, a place I had no use for before. I am not a
social media guru, but I can tell you I defiantly have more sales using these
platforms.
So the point of this
blog is get online and start sharing, talk to like minded people, share their
works too. Read Indie authors and give reviews,
and others will do the same for you. You never know who is going to see your work, it
just may be the stepping stone to greater heights.
Also, this is my shameless
plug to promote our upcoming book,
"Shrouded Voices." Of course, it will be plastered across all platforms this coming week, so keep a watch for it.
Happy
Writing Friends. Theresa
