Spring is all about new life. Whether it is daffodils poking their heads out of the ground, calves jumping around their mothers in the fields or authors starting fresh with a new resolve to put something into the world that wasn't there before. Think of it as new Year's without the hangover.
Those flowers don't welcome the return of the sun alone and a cow is a part of a herd so why should writers have to go it alone. This is the time to turn to your support network for some nurturing. As we say in Writer's Secret: MasterMind Your Way to Publishing Success, this is not about forcing someone to read your college thesis. Think of a MasterMind group as Miracle Grow for your career. It fertilizes your creative and professional ground so you can grow faster and stronger. Use your group to:
* Brainstorm story ideas
* Ask for productivity tips
* Share the names of good editors and agents.
Remember, a writers support network is as much about giving as it is about receiving. What are you going to bring into the world this year?
