I do book reviews which combines my passion for reading and writing. Being around other writers fuels my soul and I take advantage of every opportunity such as attending a writing workshop or a book launch. I've also taken in book readings hosted at the library and found these events very enjoyable. I joined the local chapter of PWAC about four years ago and thoroughly appreciate the networking it provides. I also joined the National Association of Baby Boomer Women (NABBW) last year as the membership has women from all walks of life doing incredible things. It's so encouraging to read their stories. Yes, paying for memberships can be costly, but I started out by subscribing to free newsletters geared for writers, many of which I still enjoy today. I've worked hard to get to where I am as a writer, and feel that I'm worth the time and money that I invest to perfect my craft. Anne-Marie Hood I simply love books and I’m an avid reader.

I used to be a loner but am gradually emerging from that world into being a joiner. I recently joined PWAC and am really impressed so far with the networking oppurtunities through the e-mail list and in the local group. I'll have to check out the other organizations that you've mentioned too! Cheers, Angela West Great Article Doreen!

Keeps the mind open to new ideas and opportunities. I think the best thing a writer can do for him/herself is to read a LOT of books and to get out there and join groups.
