I find Twitter is great for links to different articles and finding new blogs, which is where I create the majority of my connections. <br /><br />You're right, they are incredibly important.Kiarahttp://diaryofasecretwriter.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605033899425840109.post-87223799594027939962010-12-10T19:13:16.689+00:002010-12-10T19:13:16.689+00:00A very timely post, thank you.

I use Google Reader to consolidate the blogs I follow, but their numbers have grown to the point that I can't always manage the time to comment on everything although I do let my online friends know I appreciate them. I love the sense of community that exists between writers on the internet. I'm also on Facebook and Twitter... I don't find them quite as satisfying, but they keep the connections going and that's so important.Carol J.

Blogging is a great experience ...Thank you, Ollin!<br /><br />Blogging is a great experience for any aspiring writer, and the connections you can make are truly rewarding. Yes, I couldn't agree more. <br /><br />Thanks, Jessica.<br /><br />I'm exactly the same, it wasn't until I realised how useful it was to comment and take part in discussions that I saw another side of blogging which I'd never even thought to consider. Writing is such lonely work sometimes, so to have the encouragement and support from fellow writers really is invaluable.Kiarahttp://diaryofasecretwriter.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605033899425840109.post-79871999683859726682010-12-09T04:55:27.322+00:002010-12-09T04:55:27.322+00:00The best part of this post is that these aren'...The best part of this post is that these aren't secrets! But a lot of us overlook these reasons and possibilities. I've been blogging for awhile but only commented sporadically on some blogs. When I realized it was meaningful to comment when I read something, it's like another door opened :) Blogging is a lot more fun when you're doing it with other people and meeting other people!Jessica Silvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405267450788581689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605033899425840109.post-48607167910581961832010-12-09T04:17:48.194+00:002010-12-09T04:17:48.194+00:00Well written and well said!

I really can't add anything more to this, you said it all, but I guess I have to say that having a blog is really a very rewarding experience in and of itself. And having a community of writers supporting you is just priceless. Do it for those reasons first, and if anything else should come of it, well it's just the icing on the cake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
