Jami, just wanted to let you know that the gals on the HTH promo loop loved your blog. They commented a lot on the loop! Thanks for this great blog.

I joined writer's cafe yesterday but can't find you (or anyone else!) in there. Another clueless moment from me.
Thanks for all the helpful information, Jamie. Yes, we all need each other, and living in a town of less that 1,000 people (ugh!) I need my internet writers/authors connection!

In reply to Orly Konig-Lopez. I agree, Orly, and I'm sure Laura does too, being all the way out in the flatlands of Midland. I don't know WHAT I'd do without my online writing community. :-)

Jamie, do you connect to readers more or writers? Most of my social media right now is with fellow writers. When I first published, social media was unheard of but realize now I need to contact readers. I'm not a very techie person so I'm hoping a new website will do but I have a feeling, I also need some pages on Facebook. Any advice?

In reply to ramblingsfromtheleft. Yes, blogs are another fantastic resource. I don't think I'd know 3/4 of what I know about writing if it weren't for blogs.

Ditto to what's already been said. I can't get to anything but my little writer's group and that one is not always convenient. Most of the major organizations are a trek, so without on-line contact, friends, groups and great blogs like this one, I'd be lost. Great post, Jamie :)

In reply to Laura Drake. Hahaha! Yes, I lived in a town of 15,000 before I moved to my new home, so I feel your pain!
