Regardless of whether you are \u2018only\u2019 a reader, a budding author \u2018wantabee\u2019 or a published author, you should consider owning a website and posting blogs.<\/p>\n

As a reader<\/strong>, you can challenge yourself personally as to how much you read and document what you read while making new friends along the way.<\/p>\n

In sharing what you read, you help other readers to find interesting and informative reading material. If you find a new author that you enjoy, become a benefactor by encouraging and assisting the author — be a cheerleader to bolster flagging spirits of a discouraged author. Being an author can be a lonely, isolated occupation. Many beginning authors give up in frustration, not being able to continue for lack of an audience. Your blog with friends and followers could feature budding authors that you have found. The author would have a refreshing moment in your spotlight. You could be the catalyst or helping hand for that author to find a road to success.<\/p>\n
