And, I agree with those who suggest those intrepid ladies could lead you into a new story. Writing is often seen as an isolated, lonely occupation, but the internet creates new communities -- like IWSG -- that bring us together to celebrate, appreciate, and learn from each other.

What I am enjoying most is seeing some of the way our individual experiences, individual stories, and individual level of success all point to a desire to tell our stories the way we want to tell them. You are a great example of that.<br /><br />gilguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11958260906815299368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478463740718742925.post-87264013103202455782019-01-04T22:02:40.740+01:002019-01-04T22:02:40.740+01:00I love that.

You are one special lady and despite this being the impersonal internet, all your love comes through, even on here!

Most people I know are immigrants too. English is not their first language, and they certainly don't read the genre I write - speculative fiction - in English. So no relatives of mine ever read my writing. The only readers and supporters I have are all online, people like you. Internet was invented for us, I feel.
