For sometime now I have been tossing around creating a private group on Facebook for a few author friends. Well, I did it this morning! Yes, I belong to some very large groups that are great but I find the bigger the group, the bigger my inhibitions become about sharing my stuff. I also get asked many questions on a weekly basis about starting a blog or getting published. There is a wealth of knowledge out there on the net and learning this stuff doesn’t just happen over night. It takes time. Lots of time and the self-publishing industry is changing the face of publishing like we have never seen before and putting the power back in the author’s court. We have so much more control now and it is an exciting time to be a writer!
With that being said, there are a lot of things that authors can lack in– a community! This is important!! As the saying goes, “Writing is a solitary art, but that doesn’t mean you have to be lonely.”
If you are a new writer, established, or you have fiddled around with writing a story and never finished, this group may be for you.
I created a group. It is a private group. It WILL be a helpful group. It WILL be a respectful group.
If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of then answer these three questions:
#1 Are you an aspiring writer of Fiction, Fantasy, or Sci-FY?
#2 Do you need a community to bounce ideas off of?
#3 Are you a Christian? (Yes, I went there! 🙂 )
Tell me about yourself! If you leave a comment with your email I will send you an invite to this group. Now to avoid the spammer bots that slink around the web when you type your email don’t place the .com or space out each letter and I will figure it out. I will then comment that I sent you an invite so you can look for the invitation!

I’m more of the teaching type writer, but have been tossing around an idea for a Christian fiction book. I would like to partake if you don’t mind. patrick.hawthorne01@gmail . com

Okay, I think I finally figured it out! At the bottom of this post I wrote for the Writer’s Support Group , I place a link to the Facebook page. It works for me when I click it, so hopefully it works! It is above our comments 🙂 Thank you for being patient,

This is interesting. I’m a newer writer and am actually looking to freelance right now. Although, long term, I’d love to be published someday! When you get a chance, take a peek at my blog and let me know if I might fit in the group. I tried Writers cafe and it just wasn’t what I was looking for.

I am still waiting on the invite to the Facebook group. If you tried sending the email again, something is wacky because I still didn’t receive it. Could you try inviting me directly from Facebook? Don’t give up on me! I really want to be in the group 🙂
