We're Connected!
When it comes to reaching goals, the importance of networking should not be overlooked.
Networking is the act of interacting with others to exchange information and develop professional contacts. It can also help us generate fresh ideas.
The extent one can benefit from this varies. There's a sentiment-It's what you don't know that can hold you back. As you're working toward your goals, seek out others in your field. Chances are you will discover something that can help you that you may not have known to look for.
An example of a site that has fantastic networks for writers is Goodreads! To find the best ways to promote 'Camouflage', I searched for Goodreads' groups that discuss promotions. For finding an agent, I like the network "Query Tracker" because writers share their experiences. These sites do not push an agenda. Instead they encourage dialogue. In reading this blog, you are networking because there's an opportunity to share comments and ask questions.
No goal can be reached in isolation. Finding a good network can be an invaluable resource.
