Colleen, I absolutely love this post! I love my writing community, even the one that I made separate from the WITS community. Blogging changed my entire writing life for the better and I am so very grateful.

I love this, Colleen. I think one of the best parts of having an author platform is the relationships that we build with our readers. All of your points apply here. Authors start out thinking about marketing, but the platform is all about relationship building: powerful and fun!

In reply to Laura Drake. Agreed, Laura. You definitely have to find a niche. It took me a couple tries to do that (my first blog was read by maybe 3 people) but can be worth the effort.
