He was so encouraging and supportive. And then his husband got behind me. There was no turning back. I've learned a great deal from Pat Hatt, and it was through him I met Alex and the IWSG. I always try to be kind and encouraging in return.

Then again, we can always learn something new from one another. I think each one of us has something special to offer from our experiences and blogging.<br />And one thing is for sure- support is key when connecting and staying in touch with other authors and bloggers. The online community has such an incredibly wide range of writers so it's always interesting to visit and make new acquaintances.
