I am thrilled to say I have joined an amazing online group of writers! I'm very excited about this, which is why I couldn't help blogging about it, and hope you'll be excited for me as well ;)
I found this group by randomly reading different blogs...yes, that is how I spend a lot of my time now-a-days...but that's besides the point - I am now a member of a community of like-minded writers! Hopefully, being part of this group will help me stay on track with my writing and encourage me to never give up when things get tough (writing wise).
Another reason I joined is because I need to expand my writing platform. A writing platform is something I've learned every writer needs before trying to publish a book; it's basically your online popularity. You see, if a publisher/editor looks you up on the internet you want your name and info to come up first. So, I'm trying to do something I would never had tried if I wasn't crazy about writing; I'm trying to become popular on the internet.
I now have a Pinterest you can follow *wink wink* (I know, that really has nothing to do with writing. But hey, whatever)
I recently (like, today, recently) made a book club community on Google+. It's public and awaiting members! Teen Book Club
And of course, please follow my blog! *puppy eyes* (pretty please? with a cherry on top?)
Comments are always welcome! *nudge nudge*
...No, I'm not trying to nonchalantly tell you something...why do you ask?
Yeah, I'm glad I started my blog because *hopefully* it will get me somewhere in the way of publishing my book! Also, thank you so much for following my blog. It means a lot :)
ReplyDeleteNo problem!
DeleteKeep up the work, Lily! God has definitely given you a passion it seems for writing, so press forward with that!!! I've always been encouraged by the verse in the Proverbs: "Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men." It pushes me to pursue my creativity to the next level, and not be content to merely be mediocre in what I do. Strive to be skilled! Love ya, and can't wait to read your books one day. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sarah! That verse is very encouraging :)
DeleteThanks, I don't remember visiting that blog...but it's cool you found me! I'm glad you like my blog :)
