		<description>I enjoy visiting this site, for both the job ads and the interesting articles. Do you get many leads on UK jobs as opposed to ones in the US?</description>

		<description>Jen,

Yay! I&#039;m glad you getting your groove back on the writing front. Writing for the web is definitely different. Your audience has a short attention span...I think you just inspired my next post!</description>

		<description>Your blog has inspired me to write again! : )  Online writing is a different type of writing and I am in the process of learning the craft.  Lately I had been very discouraged and uninspired to write.  Your blog, links, and adds have great info and tips on writing.  Thank you!! : )</description>

		<description>Bravo for taking back control of FWJ.  I subscribe to this blog for exactly that reason - community.  But where&#039;s the community?  I haven&#039;t seen it since I signed on and will help get it going again.

There&#039;s so much to write about and not the same stuff that&#039;s repeated ad nauseam.  We all agree that the business has changed and we aren&#039;t making the money we used to.  We know the respect for our craft isn&#039;t what it used to be.  We know the competition is fierce not to mention how many self-styled writers are blogging, tweeting, etc. about every little thing without research, depth of knowledge and a lack of attention to grammar and spell check.  If every Tom, Dick &amp; Harriet is writing, the pool of writers overflows with detritus and the level expertise is depleted.

We all need mentors and we can all mentor others.  I would love to see small groups that meet virtually or via teleconference with clear cut agendas to spur each other on.  If you are interested in this let me know.

All that aside, why don&#039;t we chat about what is working.  What we are working on.  How to improve our skills.  And above all let&#039;s share what we know, ask about what we don&#039;t know and receive solid advice.  Let&#039;s support each other&#039;s writing and praise the unique, well-written work.  Let&#039;s help expand each other&#039;s audience by alerting our individual networks about the great writing going on.   While we are at it can we have some fun?

I&#039;m here and ready to participate!</description>
