To Whom Am I Blogging?

Susan at The Urban Muse (www.theurbanmuse.blogspot.com) has tagged me to answer the question, "To whom am I blogging?"

Here it goes:

I write my blog with the hopes that other writers out there will read and relate to my experiences as a journalist and aspiring novelist. There is no denying that being a writer is hard. Rejection. Unconstructive criticism. No response at all. It can weigh on one personally. But when the pieces finally fall into place, the reward is as sweet as the punishment is disheartening.

I believe we as writers should be part of a larger community that supports each other's disappointments, acknowledges our hard work, and celebrates our collective successes. I blog to provide an open forum for myself and other writers to discuss the things that challenge, help and inspire us.

No one understands a writer like another writer. So, in the interest of opening the forum even wider, I invite Holly at Author-in-the-Trenches (http://author-in-the-trenches.blogspot.com) and the ladies at The Writer's Group (http://www.writersgroupblog.blogspot.com) to answer next.
