Writers Supporting Writers

When I first got started writing web content, I spent an awful lot of time reading, rating, commenting and promoting other writers' work.

I "met" a few writers who I still communicate with and a handful of important friendships remain.

I discovered that many people's goals as a writer varied from mine as did their experience and niche. It seems in the years that I have been doing this I have naturally gravitated towards those writers whose writing I find inspiring, interesting and helpful.

There is a writer that I did not become "friendly" with until quite some time after I had first seen her work. She writes a blog (among other projects) that really was helpful to me. "Emma Riley Sutton is Keyword Crazy" put in simple terms some of the "language" that a newbie needs to figure out the world of web content writing.

She wrote on various topics all having to do with writing online.

Emma also is a woman who has been fighting the government to receive Social Security benefits. As someone with a disability myself, I felt for her plight. Emma (according to what she told me) supported her family through her online writing efforts and although she lives in Oklahoma where it is cheaper to live than it is here in New Jersey, I was still impressed by her spunk.

Emma is also a Christian and proud of it. Although I have to admit at times I am turned off by some of her posts, I respect her strong faith and beliefs.

So, why am I writing about Emma? Well, since day one I have seen how the online community of writers support each other. Emma is in need of help right now.

She recently became a single mom and homeless. I have known several writers who through no fault of their own have gone through a rough spot in their lives. As a fellow writer who knows that without views you do not earn, I try to promote their work to help them receive some kind of income while they struggle to get back on their feet.

I am asking anyone who reads this post (and I am not blessed yet with a large following so pass it on) to check out one of Emma Riley Sutton's articles. She has a great sense of humor and it will not be a chore to give 5 minutes of your time to read one of her articles. In return you will be helping a fellow writer and her young daughter.

Emma's generosity to fellow writers is known by many. Let's give back to this giving woman who needs an extra hand right now.

You can find Emma on Helium, Associated Content, ListMy5 or check out her blog
