Know Each Other/Expand

9 Years Ago


So, I know I know a lot of people on here, but I don't know all 71 of us. I'm sure lots of you are either new and don't know people either, or you've been here for awhile, but don't know most of us. I think in this post we should get to know each other. Maybe say something about ourselves. Start a real friendship that goes beyond a friend request. Create the community, the family. Ask questions. Learn about others. Ask for help. Any of these things. I just want us to truly know each other, even if it is hard because of 71 of us. I want us to be an example for other groups of togetherness, and family, and community, and care, and kindness.

On a different note, 71 members is amazing. I never thought I'd get that many fellow members when I made this group. But if we end up truly demonstrating what this group is about and working together, I think we can set a good example. And I think that we can e a light and a safe haven for others. So I think that we need more people. Even if it's just one a week, reach out to someone. They could be a hurting writer. Try to friend them, read their work, comment. Invite them to the group. Make an example. Do something that will have the writer telling his friends, "Hey, check out this group! They care!" And it doesn't have to be a hurting writer either. It could be a regular one. Friend them. Talk with them. Even happy writers still have masks, still hide. And even they can benefit from being part of a community, of a family. Will you guys do this if I ask?
