And who else but another writer understands our need for office supplies--pens, journals, post-its :-)<br />Victoria--Victoria M.

I call them my cheerleaders.

Okay, maybe not as impressive as the Algonquin Roundtable, but they are an impressive group of writers that I'm very pleased to call friends. Yes, you need a tribe for this solitary endeavour. :)Sofie Couchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702484708743477860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079931541460049406.post-20184964399916724972014-08-28T07:46:42.679-07:002014-08-28T07:46:42.679-07:00so very true, Heidi! so very true, Heidi!
