I’ve worked with writers for a long time. It saddens me when I hear stories of how they have left writing groups or walked out of conferences due to harsh criticism and snobbery. One of my goals for this year was to build a friendly writers group for all genres of writers who want to meet new people or who have been hurt by negative feedback, hostility and jealousy. Being a writer is a tough road as you face the inevitable ups and downs of failures, rejection letters and time constraints. We need each other. So I have built a Google + community for growth, support and healing… plus to have a good laugh. Humour is always welcome, it’s great medicine!
If you need encouragement, common sense wisdom and a bucketload of helpful resources, join us and let’s support each other. The community lives here: http://tinyurl.com/84wxqcw If you would like an invitation to join Google + email me at cate@virtual-desk.com.au and I will send you one. I need your email to do so.
Comments are welcome and please also email me resources I can share with everyone. Check the links on our profile page and you will see also the link to our board on Pinterest. http://pinterest.com/cateartios/writer-s-recovery-community-at-g/
If you are a Twitter user and want to keep up with other members of the community or discuss related issues, the Twitter hashtag is #writerG+ Just do a search for it.
