"I engage with everyone who comments or subscribes and writes back to me." You're a great example to us all, Mary, in how you engage with your readers. It's wonderful to be "seen" as a reader in that way.

If locally there's a lack of support, or even when there isn't, online communities and the almost immediate reactions received is the way to go. Substack and engaging with other writers and readers is where constructive criticism and real connection are going to happen. I've known you for years Mary, you connected, taught me the essence of writing and have encouraged me ever since. So again, a big thank-you. I recommend Mary's writing course and interaction here on Substack. It's worth it, and it will move your writing forward.
