How Many of Us are Out There?

THIS is something I didn’t need to stumble across…

I was on Facebook, trying to figure out how to get more people reading this blog.  As a thought, I searched for Aspiring Author groups, thinking they may enjoy the blog.  They probably couldn’t help us, but I didn’t see how they could hurt us, either.  Misery loves company, right?

On the night I did this search, there were more than 260 Aspiring Authors groups listed on Facebook, alone.  The first 10 groups contained over 12,000 members — just the first 10 groups, on the first blasted page of the list!!!

I ended up posting the blog link on one of the largest groups (on that first page) and am pretty sure that post and link will go absolutely nowhere. 

So, with no gain to show for this, I am left with the painful thought that there are thousands and thousands of aspiring authors out there reaching for the same dream we are…and waking up each morning, empty handed. 

We are, definitely, not alone in our quest.  All these writers are wanting to be seen, heard, appreciated, and affirmed for their talents and abilities… but are not.


As for us…We are not discouraged; we are challenged.
