Rose McCauley hosts what was supposed to be the last day of The Familiar Stranger‘s blog tour, but I think we’ll continue a day or two more to fit in a few of the latecomers. 🙂 What I really like about Rose’s post, besides her blatant promotion of my editing services and compliments concerning my appearance, is the story of how we’ve grown to be friends. My life is immeasurable richer because of my writing pursuits.
In a way, it’s almost scary how alike such a diverse-in-other-ways group of people can be. I’ve never experienced it anywhere like I have in the writing arena, but I’m young and inexperienced, so that might be more an indication of my world than anything else.
Do you have the instant commonality occur in your circle of life? At work? With parents of children the same age as yours? At church? Tell me where you connect with others the best!
It always amazes me when I meet other women writers, whether they are young or older, and we have an immediate connection. We may not write the same genres and are at different places in our writing journeys, but there is the feeling that are souls touch and it’s an awesome experience!

I seem to bond with people who share my faith. The majority of my friends are people I have met in church and have worked with on a project.
There are some people in the ‘market place’ to whom I am drawn but don’t always see.
The same two places–church and writing world–as where I connect most quickly. 😉
