Paranormal Central

I have been a member of VBT for barely three months, and in that time I have checked out most of the authors’ profiles and followed many of their blogs. My assessment, in a word, is that they are all amazing.

Most of them have regular jobs, family obligations, religious obligations; some even have medical concerns that demand priority over all else. Still, they forge ahead, insinuating themselves in the folds of a community that supports and understands them like no one in their personal circle really can. Their drive to be the best they can be at their craft fills their blogs, web pages and bookmarks with links to every conceivable venue offering tidbits that contribute to making them better authors.

What one learns, all learn in shared experiences. The tribulations of one serve to teach its lesson to many. It is truly inspiring the way networking authors pull together to help one another reach that elusive goal of making the Best Sellers list.

It is my observation that the Internet has become a powerful tool for cultivating, polishing and producing new authors of the highest caliber. It is beyond me why mainstream publishers and hot shot agents have not made sites like VBT their go-to source for recruiting qualified new talents.

You see it in sports all the time. Baseball, basketball and football players don’t send query letters to sport agents, do they? No, they play their hearts out on the field every day, hoping that today is the day that one agent is in the stands watching, taking notes and taking names.

Authors at VBT pour their hearts out in that same way. But you know the difference is that they do it not because they think that agent is out there somewhere watching; they do it for the love of the game, and that, as I say, amazes me. So I dedicate this blog spot to my fellow VBTauthors, and it is to them that I say with pride in knowing them all, play ball!
