When I first started writing, I found it to be a lonely profession. Now, being an active member of SCBWI, this is no longer the case. I'll be adding more links over time that either I, or people that I've spoken to, have found useful.

You're so right, it can be very lonely.
ReplyDeleteThis is a useful list.
Welcome to the blogworld, Claira Jo. I'm guessing your readers might also like http://www.awfullybigblogadventure.blogspot.com/ which has loads of writingy stuff/advice/miscellania on it for both established and would-be authors, if you'd like to take a look. I've just started my own blog adventure too--all quite exciting, really.
ReplyDeleteJust a hello!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you blogging Claira Jo. It IS lonely. I am just grateful that the loners who do the same work I do are also writers so there are blogs and online communities all over the place...
