Teamwork

While writing is usually a solitary profession, once we have our draft in hand it is important to get it to readers. Often the first readers are friends or fellow writers.

One such writer friend of mine is Juls Duncan, author of Morgan Koda and the Mask of Noesis. We had the opportunity a while back to share our books and give each other comments. I highly recommend her books. Wander over to her website at https://sites.google.com/site/morgank... or her blog at http://morgankodaadventuresseries.blo....

I find it fun that Juls and I write such different types of stories, yet we connected as writers and enjoyed the other stories. Her main character, Morgan Koda, is thirteen and gets involved with magic. My main Character, Ven Zaran, is 45 and had to deal with his own drug addiction while dealing with a crime syndicate.

Some might think that writers are competitors. I think the truth is the opposite, that we are on the same team. It is rare that a reader won't read one writer because they already read another. That isn't the way things work. Successful writers who share the secrets of their success with others, only add to their success.

I am looking forward to encountering other writers on this journey of publication. There is a lot of talent out there, we just need to get it in the hands of readers.
