samantha stacia said… Hello Penny!
I want to personally Thank You for joining my group Blooming Late!
I read your blog from the link you had in your profile and you are a very personable writer. The site is warm and inviting as well!
There are many wonderful women in our group from all genres and levels of writing who are a real source of support,enouragement and inspiration for writing. I hope that you will be able to make your writing home with us!
We have many things going on in here and future plans for the group,take a look around our discussions and familiarise yourself with whats going on and participate where it will do you the most good. You dont have to follow any of the discussions unless you find one or two that will help encourage or inspire you. What I do ask of you though is if you would set your settings to recieve our emails so that when something is going on in the group you will be informed with everyone else.
We also have the pages section which can be found directly on the left of the group page. There you can add your great blog, any books you have published, add your birthday, what you write etc according to each page. But please be sure to add your Facebook/Twitter handle in the page for it right away so that our members can connect with you.
We are starting a wonderful project that is going to expand the promotional ability of this group exponentially and so as time allows we would really like you to "friend" every member in here as well as connect with all of them on FB and Twitter so we can all be connected with each other. Thank You!
I am glad you are here and WELCOME to the group!
