I've been talking to a few other friends of mine who've been published recently, and those who have been doing events for years, and they have mixed things to say. I think you're spot-on about how important it is to make connections. We can shout into the void of the internet all we want, but there are some people we can only reach by word of mouth.Kiersihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033659930186902045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086062096420008519.post-36149246466100187042014-11-19T12:40:21.288-05:002014-11-19T12:40:21.288-05:00I do love talking to people and that definitely he...I do love talking to people and that definitely helps. :)Kelly Hashwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936313159809041986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086062096420008519.post-3870732090828928292014-11-19T12:09:13.607-05:002014-11-19T12:09:13.607-05:00I agree that connections are everything and you se...I agree that connections are everything and you seem to like people, like me.
