Purpose:<\/strong>\u00a0To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It\u2019s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!
Posting:<\/strong>\u00a0The first Wednesday of every month is officially\u00a0Insecure Writer\u2019s Support Group<\/strong> day. Post your thoughts on your own blog. Talk\u00a0about your doubts and the fears you have conquered. Discuss your struggles and triumphs. Offer a word of encouragement for others who are struggling. Visit others in the group and connect with your fellow writer – aim for a dozen new people each time – and return comments. This group is all about connecting!<\/div>\n

January 3 question: Do you follow back your readers on BookBub or do you only follow back other authors?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
I’m glad it’s a quick and easy question for the new year.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I put effort into building a BookBub following a few years ago, but never got too far with it. (I’m sitting at 359 followers.) And yes, I will follow back anyone that follows me. But since I only get notification that I’ve added followers, and not who they were, it can be hard to figure out who to follow back.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
So, I’m pretty close to following the same number of folks on the site as are following me. I get lots of notifications of authors adding books, putting books on sale, etc., but never get any feedback if folks get similar notices for me. Adding reviews seems like a good way to get more attention, but haven’t developed the habit.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Here’s my BookBub link if you would like to follow me. I’ll be sure to return the favor. https:\/\/www.bookbub.com\/profile\/p-j-maclayne<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I wish you the best for the New Year. As always, until next time, please stay safe.<\/div>\n
