There are seasons when writers will contribute more or less, depending on their circumstances and resources. We have many writing friends with servant hearts who are seeking to give back to the writing community and pay it forward. It's important that we remember and appreciate their work and willingness to serve. Thank you for your kind words :) Narellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665380446283721576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-75002439516414058822016-09-27T21:40:14.939+10:002016-09-27T21:40:14.939+10:00Thanks Meredith.

It reminds me that in this industry, we could develop the attitude that a celebration for one of us is a celebration for all. It's easy to forget that when we're working on something behind our own computers.

I recently wrote a personal blog on a similar theme to what you have written, after a time when I caught myself not listening to the person speaking in a group because I was too busy thinking about the scintillating thing I would say next! And of all things, it was at an Omega Writers' group meeting! And I agree with Ian's comment above too, re commenting on blogs, even if only briefly.

So easy to encourage others with such little actions.Ian Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192687613923596829noreply@blogger.com
