Like you and Casey, she was one of my inspirations as I started blogging. But I have to agree with her about platform. When I started blogging, it was because I was exploring things in my writing and writing about what I was learning was my way of cementing that lesson. I still want to reach out to other writers, and I try to do that every chance I get, but I am more about celebrating readers and authors on the blog right now. That's my own personal evolution, and it may not be right for anyone else, but I think life is too short to keep doing things we don't love or don't have time to do. I love leaving comments on other blogs and discovering new blogs and new writers, but when I'm pressed for time, that's the first thing that has to go. I am trying to learn not to feel guilty about that. <br /><br />I am so glad you are loving your WIP, Elana!!!!!<br /><br />And thanks for sharing this interview, Natalie!Martina Boonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03358736828122139189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-8835123538306390602013-06-17T10:40:26.654-04:002013-06-17T10:40:26.654-04:00Super advice about how to build relationships onli...Super advice about how to build relationships online, Elena - thank you!
