[Note from the Proprietor - This is a pointer to my entry for this month's What I Learned From... groupwrite project - which happens to be published as a guest post somewhere else this time. The topic this month is Community, and you're invited to join us! Just click on that link for details.]

Hey, this post marks a first for me in that it’s a kindof two birds with one stone sorta thing. Or maybe three. Guess it depends on how you look at it.

• Over at Confident Writing, Joanna Young’s theme for the next month or so is on the subject of Community. Naturally, it’s something to which I wanted to contribute a thought or two.
• Joanna also happens to be conducting a writing seminar in Sardinia (a small island off the coast of Italy), so she put out a call for guest posts to fill in while she was gone.
• Finally, in an amazingly serendipitous twist worthy of the Middle Zone, Community also happens to be the topic of our current What I Learned From… groupwrite project.

OK; got it? Three powerful reasons to write about Community, right?

Suddenly it hit me (sound of dull thud); what could better than meeting all three needs with one single post! Why, that would be finer than a frog’s hair; am I right? Man, am I a genius or what? (Don’t answer that!)

Anyhoo – my post is titled “Standing Tall in Your Community“, where I reveal a little-known fact about myself and share a technique that helped me get out of my own shell ‘way back when. You’ll find it over at Joanna Young’s site, Confident Writing – drop on by and say Howdy!

Don’t worry ’bout a thing, folks; I’ll still be here when you get back. Hey, I’ll even leave the light on for ya!
