IWSG DAY, February 3, 2021, Blogging and Friendship by Pat Garcia








Hello Everyone, 

 

It is IWSG Time!

 

IWSG is a writers' support group created and led by Alex Cavanaugh. 

 

Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!

 

This group is an immense help to many of us who do not mind sharing our insecurities, our successes, or giving encouragement and support to others. 

 

 

So, if you are interested and would like to join, the link below will lead you directly to us:

Blogging and Friendship

I don't blog often, but blogging has opened the doors for me to find like-minded people who like to write Romance, Romantic Suspense, and Women's fiction with a tad of fantasy. They have become people that I turn to when I am uncertain about my writing, especially Grammar, and when I have a question, I expect an honest answer. We don't agree all the time, but that is okay with me. Who does? But they have a character trait within them that is priceless––the heart to respect even when we disagree.

 

Wishing everyone a lovely month of February.

 

Shalom aleichem,

 


Pat Garcia

  1. Glad you have connected to some writing buddies here. And even if you don't blog often, at least you connect with us once a month here.

  2. I've made lots of friends through blogging too. And you don't have to blog often to be friends. I would be glad to shout out about your short story in my Follower News on March 8th if you want. Email me at natalieiaguirre7@gmail.com if you'd like me to do that.

  3. Thank you for stopping by my blog. I agree, the blogosphere has been very important in helping me surround myself with like-minded people, even when we don't agree. I wish the physical world were sometimes more like the blogosphere.

    I started blogging with the purpose of building my name as a fiction writer. Meeting so many bloggers willing to give their advice and support was the bonus.
