My goal for 2013 is to help another writer...

Do you have a fellow author who you have taken under your
wing to help promote or share advice with?



While we would all like to think we are the next big thing
to hit e-books and the world of reading, we were all once just beginners in the
wonderful world of writing.  We looked up
to someone or wanted to be just like the author of our favorite book, and even thought,
“gosh I can do that too”.





We are all in this profession together, working hand-in-hand
with each other, mostly on a competitive basis, but our outcomes are all the
same – our desire to write and be noticed.



Just like riding a bike, we needed help with that too.  Or driving; we sure didn’t begin that process
alone.  Or even building friendships over
the years; again not done alone.   





I encourage each of you reading this to take another writer
by the hand and help them up the ladder that you have climbed.  Build a working rapport, feed off the
knowledge you both have, learn from each other, and mostly help each other to
be successful.



Maybe your strength is editing, or even coming up with a
great scene, maybe you are better at critique, or even prefer just to
illustrate – whatever your strengths may be, work together to make it better.





My goal for 2013 is to help another writer by sharing space
on my website, help build a social network, and striving for a better outcome
for each of us.  I hope you all do the
same and who knows; maybe there is another Stephen King or J.K. Rowling among us just waiting
to be noticed.
