How Blogchatter could make you an Author

Writing is a lonely exercise. It is just you, your thoughts, your words and your laptop or pen and paper. You are the author, the editor and the reader too.

This pattern works for some all of the time, and for all some of the time.

There comes a time when inspiration dries up and all ideas seem stale. You wish to grow, you want to learn more and you need a second opinion, a sounding board.

There comes a point when you want to reach out to and connect with fellow bloggers and writers. People who understand you and help you understand.

Every writer reaches this point in their writing / blogging journey and a Blogging Communities is what is needed then.

Blogchatter is one such Online Community, of and for Bloggers.

Blogchatter should be credited for starting India’s first weekly chat on Twitter. Every Wednedsay at 8:30 pm IST. The topics are interesting and educative and the knowledge shared by Bloggers participating in the chat immense. Bloggers from all over the world, writing all genres, converge on Twitter for these chats.

Apart from the chats, Blogchatter also has a feature called Spotlight, where they highlight submitted Blogposts. They also host Writing Festivals where well known Authors share tips and advice. Photo and Word Prompts are also shared to give you inspiration to write and run contests with exciting prizes. Innovation is an ongoing process where Blogchatter is concerned, so you never know what surprise they would come up with next.
