I haven't ventured out to any local writing groups but I prob should.kahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789825860272178765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762330519599483179.post-1054064363508068512010-03-03T16:32:20.438-05:002010-03-03T16:32:20.438-05:00The blogs are a wonderful community, kind of like ...The blogs are a wonderful community, kind of like a virtual meeting at the backyard fence neighborhood. We stop in for a visit, catch up and get inspired by eachother. The dialogues that get going in the comments are often as inspiring as the posts themselves!<br /><br />I clicked over from Nicole's blog, enjoyed browsing!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762330519599483179.post-23038954913291761832010-03-03T11:51:24.044-05:002010-03-03T11:51:24.044-05:00Wonderful post, Heather!

I didn't become serious about my writing, or even understand the difference between scribbling (what I did before) and writing for an audience (what I do now) until I joined Writing.com. It was through that community of writers that I learned the most about the craft and gleaned the most inspiration and support. Now that I've discovered blogging, I sense my work again going to the next level. Belonging to a community of writers cannot be underestimated!<br /><br />If you get the chance today, hop over to my blog. I've left you a little something there :))Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899768909313326172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762330519599483179.post-41488209259409445692010-03-03T09:43:45.720-05:002010-03-03T09:43:45.720-05:00Face time with other writers is THE top motivator ...Face time with other writers is THE top motivator for me. And knowing I have two groups of people eager to know what's going to happen next keeps that revision mojo on task! <br /><br />Attending local workshops is an excellet way to get connected to writers near you. Whining to your IRL friends and relatives on Facebook also worked for me.

I've been feeling frusterated and down about my WIP and reading this post and getting some reassurance from my critique partners really helped me feel better about everything and I feel really comforted to know that I'm not the only one that has bad days with life and with writing. I'm really glad your a part of the blogosphere, you blog posts always manage to brighten my day! :D<br /><br />Thank you!<br />~EllaThe Blogger Girlzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915385689799889397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762330519599483179.post-25053516921472174702010-03-03T02:30:29.169-05:002010-03-03T02:30:29.169-05:00Great post!

I didn't know how much I would appreciate IRL writing friends till I met some during last year's NaNo. It's always helpful to have someone who knows what you're going through!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11952125198101179121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762330519599483179.post-85847978735945347102010-03-02T23:39:44.118-05:002010-03-02T23:39:44.118-05:00Sarahjayne - You're welcome!

It really does keep me excited to keep on working even when I feel like being lazy. <br /><br />I don't have IRL writing friends, but it's fine because I live my life more online than I do IRL...it all works out. ;-)<br /><br />I'm glad we are writing buddies!Jessica Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382996481558671385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762330519599483179.post-58126861006365008602010-03-02T23:05:30.442-05:002010-03-02T23:05:30.442-05:00Great post.

And moving beyond that in the ways that you mention here sounds like the logical next step for me.
