Good morning friends, and welcome new followers! Thank you so much to Star Wuerdemann for mentioning us in her excellent post about building a literary community on Jane Friedman’s blog. Such a helpful post. I know I spent many long years with no literary community at all, awkwardly wishing some random person who wasn’t a creep would just magically approach me, say “Hey, are you a writer?” and take me in somehow.
I had this exact thing happen to me the other night at a bookish event. An accomplished author asked me what I was working on and the answer I stammered out wasn't pretty. Your post and that experience confirmed that I to write and memorize a more conversational "log line." Thanks for helping me see the light!
Amy, I appreciate your article. It certainly speaks to the difficulty I have when explaining my work in development to others. I also want you to know I found you thanks to Star Wuerdemann's guest column on Jane Friedman's website.
