Finding social media sites that work for you can be a little tricky at first, but once you start to get the hang of it, I think it's absolutely worth it. :)Ava Jaehttp://avajae.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-44050988635698515532015-02-05T05:27:01.611-08:002015-02-05T05:27:01.611-08:00You're welcome, Alexandra!

It's so much better to approach life in general with an abundance mentality, and the writing sphere seems to be one place where they've gotten it right.

And I have some bloggers I follow on WordPress. One blogger who follows me told me about writing.com. I'm thinking about becoming a member, but I'm so nervous about posting any of my stories. I guess I haven't overcome my fear of criticism. I want my work to be the best it can be.

I began writing on Figment but later Wattpad won me. They also offer contests which can help you to improve your writing.

I've been going at it for a month, and have hit the point where the inspiration faeries have flown away, and now its work.

I have yet to meet that goal. Finding a live group is proving to be a challenge because I have a less than pristine schedule. Finding a group online sounds like the best solution, but don't know where to start looking. I have some writer buddies on Twitter, so I guess that's a start. But if by online writing group you mean a website I go to in order to share my writing, I have yet to find one.George McNeesenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-86061774951023572015-02-02T04:51:15.976-08:002015-02-02T04:51:15.976-08:00I agree.

I've also found that when someone asks a question, everyone leaps to answer it like a bunch of ravenous dogs. But in a good way, of course. :)Ana @ Butterflies of the Imagihttp://butterfliesoftheimagination.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
