Anytime I need someone, I know my writer friends are there for me whether I need help with something I'm writing, help with a class I'm teaching, even help with finding a projector for a meeting. We all support each other. I lived half my life somewhere else, and never found the loyalty and support I have found since joining NCWN West and meeting the good people who are members.Thank you, JC, for writing this post.Glenda Beallhttp://www.profilesandpedigrees.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327770929317819999.post-52868579433860105832013-03-20T11:10:28.096-04:002013-03-20T11:10:28.096-04:00Yes, indeed! Writers supporting one another: That ...Yes, indeed! Writers supporting one another: That is why I joined Netwest. I perceived the members as helpful and not feeling threatened by one another. I dislike the closed societies of cliques and really appreciate the welcome mat that Netwest places at its open door.<br /><br />I try to be of help when asked, and I've found that others in the organization share that attitude.<br /><br />I have been in other organizations where cooperation seemed to be a four-letter word. I don't know why Netwest is different, except perhaps that we have a culture created and populated by genuine folks who are more interested in helping than in posing or excluding.<br /><br />Personally, I hate literary competition. When I hear others read, I don't compare my writing to theirs, except perhaps to learn something new. I haven't encountered anyone in Netwest who views others as competitors. Instead, I believe we view one another as friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
