Just goes to show, partnering works in many ways. ;-)<br /><br />JackieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505661913107994459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-79264692441194695592009-05-14T07:22:00.000-07:002009-05-14T07:22:00.000-07:00I used your post as a jumping off point for my blo...I used your post as a jumping off point for my blog today.

We need it, if only to save our sanity.

We work alone, and the work of marketing our books is endless. As much as we believe in our work and our books, doing at least part of it with someone else who appreciate what it's all about is a huge benefit. Makes us feel a little less lonely, and perhaps a bit less crazy for doing it at all!Judy Gruenhttp://www.judygruen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-64510461331322520112009-05-13T15:52:00.000-07:002009-05-13T15:52:00.000-07:00Jen,

It was great support, but we didn't do enough brainstorming. We mostly met for lunch with editors, which worked out very well for me at the time. I do try to find a group when I need one. <br /><br />In an earlier post, I said helping others helps you. And I'm very much a believer in that. I have a friend who's been needing lots of support lately as she's getting back into freelancing, so that's been helping me, too. In fact, we meet again this week. I hope we'll do some brainstorming. I have a lot of ideas I need to pitch right now.<br /><br />Debbie,<br /><br />I can't believe you guessed that right. You have a good eye, or you go to Postino's a lot! :-)<br /><br />I'm envious of your ability to embrace the more technical aspects of blogging. I have a lot to learn and am taking a class, but it's been hard fitting it in. I'll be working on that this weekend. I don't know what Mr. Linky is. Sounds funny. I don't know what a meme is, either. How do they help your blog/traffic?<br /><br />We still need to meet up in person. I'd still like that.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting BIKE WITH JACKIE. I'll stop by your blogs very soon.<br /><br />JackieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505661913107994459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-8603871229214876652009-05-13T15:30:00.000-07:002009-05-13T15:30:00.000-07:00I was trying to guess where your meeting took plac...I was trying to guess where your meeting took place. Was it at Postino's Wine Cafe? What a great idea to do this. I love meeting new people and helping one another out, whether it's with new ideas or sharing what you've learned. I joined up with another blogger on Fridays and we do Fitness Friday. It's become so popular now that she's starting to use Mr. Linky and others are joining us. I get more traffic also when I join with another group meme on Tuesdays called In Other Words Tuesdays.Debbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-43753056856902874422009-05-13T14:53:00.000-07:002009-05-13T14:53:00.000-07:00Totally agree with you Jackie.

When I moved to Portland, I met two nearby writers that I meet with once a week to brainstorm ideas, discuss work and cheer each other on. Having that has helped me to really push beyond my comfort zone and pitch new markets and try new things. <br />And this blogathon has done the same for me.Jen Netherbyhttp://www.jennifernetherby.comnoreply@blogger.com
