I'm a Writing Buddy, now what?

Like many PNN Community Members - I have engaged in the 'write a novel in 30 days' challenge. This has been good for me, positioning myself in my own mind as a Writer. That alone has been more than worth registering.

I do have a question though - for all of those who have accepted me as their Writing Buddies.

What, exactly, does a Writing Buddy do?

To me, this question comes down to the issue of Support - how would you like it offered to you, how can I help?

My typical style is to empower. I'll encourage, I'll help you see something within your Self that you may have overlooked or missed -- and I tend not to be invasive or intrusive to your process. If you need me, I'm there ... and if you're happy managing things on your own ~ I'm but a beckon away.

Personally, I'm a bit of a Hermit and a Lone Ranger. I've always enjoyed working in isolation and independently. It's why I've chosen to continue working from home on a freelance basis rather than re-integrating back into the workforce now that my children are not as 'needing' of me as they once were.

I love how well some of you are doing so far. You've shot right out of the starter's gate and you're galloping to your destiny. I finally registered words today for the first time. And I've got the lowest word count on my Writing Buddy list ... and I'm okay with that. In this case, I'm not measuring myself against anything ~ I'm so grateful to have gotten to a place where this is even possible.

But I do desire to serve well as a Writing Buddy to others.

So, to all my friends here who are participating in NaNoWriMo 2009 ~ what do you expect from a Writing Buddy?

How might I best serve you? I'd really like to know.

If NaNoWriMo is new to you - details about it can be found by clicking here.

If you're participating in NaNoWriMo and I'm not a Writing Buddy of yours, but you'd like me to be ... I'm writing under the name of Sally_G. (include the period after the G)

Your wish is my command - how can I best support you?
