Can I just say that I love the writing community that I’ve become involved in as a result of my membership in the RWA. They are always there to cheer me on- when I sell, when I get a great review or when I need some answers on plotting, they are there to lend support, to clap for the successes and to even share their husband’s brains/knowledge for research issues.

On the other side of the coin, when I’m feeling frustrated and down, they’re there to support me and talk me down off the ceiling where I got stuck as I went into orbit.  It’s a wonderful thing to me. I work as a lawyer in the day job and I see so many instances of people who are nonsupportive even in their own nuclear families that this writing community makes my heart soar.

There are a few people I’ve met on this writing journey that don’t make my heart happy, but luckily, they are few and far between.  I try to disconnect and not engage those folks that bring me down. 

I’m grateful for my friends and wanted to say thanks for being there for me on the roller coaster ride. This week has definitely been one of those weeks.  A great review made ny week and you guys were there to cheer me on. Thanks!  Read it here:           http://www.coffeetimeromance.com/BookReviews/surferbridebyjillianchantal.html
