SheWrites B&W Blogger Ball

Welcome to the SheWrites.com Blogging about Books and Writing Group Ball. This is just a little get-to-know-you gathering for She Writers who belong to the group. To participate:

  • Add a link to your blog through the linky below (with parenthetical description).
  • Do a welcome post on your own blog, sharing one blogging tip fellow bloggers might like to know – or if that’s intimidating just welcome is fine. (Feel free to grab our group icon to the right if you’d like.)
  • Visit at least 8 other blogs on the list – and leave comments! (and don’t forget me!)

My blogging tip: Comment Luv. It’s easy to install and picks up the beginning of the latest blog post of any commenter who also blogs (as long as you put your blog url in the little box where it goes). That way, folks reading my blog might see the beginning of yours and hop on over to your blog. (Go ahead, try it out by leaving a comment on this or any other post here).

And please, avoid shameless self-promoting: be gentle with the capitalization thing, and comment with an eye toward the posts you are reading rather than the things you might like to promote.

Looking forward to getting to know you all better!

Meg

    Maria, the group is on SheWrites.com. Just join she writes and then join the group – doesn’t take but a few minutes. And it’s a wonderful site.

    I’ve been blogging for a few years now, Victoria, and it’s still humbling – and fun!

    Meg,
    This blog hop has been a lot of fun. It’s a great way to get to know the other women in the group and sample their work.

    Thanks so much for organizing it.

  37. Maria Clara Paulino

    Dear blog hop members who commented on my blog today,

    Thank you with all my heart for having taken the time to read and comment. I was very much looking forward to reading your blogs too but I’m afraid I was too optimistic. I have been traveling and will go away again next weekend. In the meantime, this week is going to be packed with more than my usual share.

    I hope you’ll have a lot of fun, and I’m really sorry I cannot share in it. Please keep us all informed of how things are going.

    All the best,

    Clara

About 1st BOOKS: Stories of How Writers Get Started

If you think writers are born rather than made and brilliant writing is recognized immediately, those rejection slips for your novel—or story or nonfiction query, or (heaven help you) letter to your own mother—can seem a daunting thing. The truth is getting started as a writer takes hard work, persistence, and a bit of luck.
