Eleanor Smythe (a pen name) turned out to be such a hoot to be around. We've met up several times over the past couple of months and each time we get together, we talk for hours and hours! She has even started calling me her mentor which is hilarious in itself (!) but also very kind. I feel such an enormous kinship with Eleanor that I am so grateful to have been introduced to her and I am really looking forward to lots more chats about our writing and lives in general.
I'm sure Eleanor would love to hear from other authors and bloggers so please do pop over to her brand new blog and leave her a comment! You can find her at eleanorsmythe.blogspot.com. She's an absolute beginner at all this social networking malarkey so I'm sure she'll be delighted to hear from you.
* Eleanor is planning to release her first book, Perceptions, in September.
I've met some great indie authors online, but none in person, what fun. Heading over to check out her page now.
ReplyDeleteBeing able to meet so many great people is one of the reasons I love the internet. That's great you have been able to make such a good connection with Eleanor!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome that the both of you were able to connect. It sounds like you are a fabulous mentor! :) Going to visit her now.
ReplyDeleteHi, Suzy,
ReplyDeleteI understand that lonesomeness as my writing crowd is mainly on the internet. Kudos to your friend on taking the leap.
Here are some pre-written forms that aim to help you bring ideas and interests under your consciousness into something we realize (a helper if we want to fill in blank paper when we are asked to "write about something that interests us"
