As always, thank you for joining us, and we wish you all the very best in your endeavors. #RWchat
It has truly been a pleasure to build and be a part of this community, and we thank you for showing up today and for the past four years to help us create such a special space. #RWchat
That was it. The last #RWchat question... 😢 We’re going to keep the @RWchat Twitter account and rwchat.com website up for a while, and the four of us will still be hanging around on Twitter.
Q8: What can you do to empower other beginning romance writers and pass on your wisdom and experience? (Because you DO have wisdom and experience, more than you know.) #RWchat
Q7: What do you do when you don’t know something? Who or what do you turn to? #RWchat
Q6: What does the romance writing community mean to you? How do you show up in this community? #RWchat
Q5: How do you feel about marketing/promo, and are you more comfortable with it now than when you first began? #RWchat
Q4: How do you now approach improving your craft, and is this different from how you approached it when you first started writing? #RWchat
Q3: How do you keep an open mind when it comes to considering new ideas or other points of view? #RWchat
Q2: What would you recommend for someone looking to find their writing community? #RWchat
Q1: What have you learned so far in your writing/publishing journey about how to combat imposter syndrome? #RWchat
We started #RWchat for a number of reasons, and for this last chat, we’re going to ask questions that relate to each one.
Please use the #RWchat hashtag in your replies, so all chat participants can view them. #RWchat is brought to you by @alexisdaria @clpolk @LovettRomance & @BellRomance.
This week’s topic comes from a Hamilton lyric. #RWchat x.com/HamiltonaDay/s…
Teach ‘em how to Say goodbye! (Say goodbye!) To say goodbye! One last time! Say goodbye! One last time!
Hi everyone! This is it. The final #RWchat. As always, please start by telling us what you’re working on.
The final #RWchat starts in 45 minutes!
Join us tonight for the final #RWchat. 7pmET/4pmPT. rwchat.com/2019/01/11/an-…
Join us Sunday Jan 27th at 7pmET/4pmPT for the LAST #RWchat 😭
Thanks for joining us! Next week will be the LAST #RWchat, bringing the past four years of wonderful Sunday evenings spent with all of you to a close. We hope you’ll be able to join us. rwchat.com/2019/01/11/an-…
Q8: Looking forward, what would be the most satisfying and sustainable motivation for you as you continue your writing journey? What can you do to incorporate this into your current writing practice? #RWchat
