Because I feel that one of my purposes for being on the web is to encourage, specifically to encourage other writers, I joined a group called The Insecure Writers' Support Group. Its purpose is: 


"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!"

(Now they also have links for finding publishers and agents, writing tips, marketing, self-publishing, and author services, among other things.)

Over the course of a few years, I've written quite a few posts that I wanted to share here. Each of these links goes back to my blog. (And for the record, on my blog, I don't use capitals-- a long story that I'll share here sometime in the future.)
