Generosity

Writers are a generous bunch. I'm amazed at the amount of information and advice available to you if only you look for it. I accidentally happened on the eharlequin community when I was looking for submission guidelines. What I found was a community full of authors and aspiring authors ready and willing to share advice, experiences and any knowledge acquired through years of writing and submitting. The communities I visit are filled with giving, kind people who share one commonality, the burning desire to write. It's inspiring.
Authors have a wealth of information on their websites. Everything from writing a synopsis to building memorable characters.

The romance genre may be the only business where people are ready and willing to share secrets with up and comers.
I've learned so much from the various authors and writers I've met in the past year and I know I will continue to learn so much more.
For now, thank you to Suzanne for your advice on writing blurbs. Now the back of my business cards won't be so empty and dull!
