What made you to share your work with others? which usually an author finds it personal when it comes to poems!

Philip Dodd For anyone who writes, the internet is wonderful. I will never take it for granted. Before I tuned into the internet in July, 2012, I wrote in isolation. After my book, Angel War, was published in April, 2013, I was pleased to have my Author Profile Page on Goodreads and a page for my book, complete with reviews of it by other members. I enjoy sharing my poems in the Poetry group on Goodreads, on poetry sites on Face Book and on my own WordPress blog: http://astro7747.wordpress.com It is natural to want to share what you have created with others, even if it is only one other person. I have had positive responses to my book and my poems since I tuned into the internet, I am pleased to say, and I find it interesting and enjoyable reading the works of others. I have had poems published in my local newspapers and in The Dawntreader, a quarterly poetry magazine, published by Indigo Dreams Publishing, but the good thing about posting them on the internet is that I can get a response from those who have read them. Only by sharing what you have written with others can you measure how good it is, how worthwhile it is to write in the first place. Writing is a great hobby. When others appreciate what you have written, it makes it even better.
