Writing is often a solitary job. We’re focused on our own little world and think we have to do it all. But we don’t; we just have to ask for help.
Help with critiquing our manuscripts.
Help with learning about the publishing industry.
Help with promotions and marketing.
All we need to do is ask for help!

Without the help of my awesome CPs, Betas, writing groups, and the fantastic writing community, I wouldn't have come this far. :)
Short... sweet & savvy info!
Thanks!
Something I have to work on.
I try to help where I can!
We can't do it alone.
What's so amazing is how difficult it is for many to ask for help. Great post, Diane!
Give a little yelp for some help
And this group is a great place to find that help.
Couldn't have done what I've done without asking for it!
And sometimes I hate to do that. All writers are so busy with their own writing and families and lives. Still whenever I have asked for help, they've jumped in and said yes.
seems so easy, so to say
Hi Diane .. everyone is so helpful in the blogging world of ours and we've some real experts around ..
Excellent post .. cheers Hilary
So very true - thanks for the reminder! Writing doesn't have to be as lonely as we often make it...
Sometimes I forget to ask for help, then when I finally do, it's so amazing the help I get.

I'm happy everyone liked short and sweet for help today.
I work for a health non-profit, and I have to say, it's fascinating how many people whose vocation it is to help others are so reticent to ask for help themselves.
Great reminder--thank you!
I need to get better at this.
