Getting the stories in your heart onto the page can be hard, but it doesn’t have to something that’s done in isolation without help. I’m grateful for the chapters of romance writers I belong to. I’ve found acceptance, encouragement—a family.

Lots of people who share my dreams and actually read my stuff.

Recently, I received this award. It’s my pleasure to post it here and to suggest to readers that there are communities who welcome writers. You don’t have to do it alone. Consider joining one of the many writing chapters offered in the Romance Writers of America. https://www.rwa.org/
