Yes, and all can work well together.
Print journals may have sites online to share art and information, and help other people discover their work. I borrow books from our library, and can learn more about a new author online.
Grateful always for our blogs, and being able to create posts and share. I learn so much every day.

in the room where I write
she often asked,
“Are you writing?”
My answer is both. I have helped begin new projects and programs, or helped them grow – and I needed to be a leader in some ways, and follow the lead of others as well. I have taught and/or helped with programs from early childhood to a nursing home. My parents were both teachers.
A long time ago, I taught university courses about consultation and collaboration. How to work best together. I may have good skills in one area, and others of course know more in other areas. Together we can achieve a lot. Blogs are a great example.
Luci Shaw is an author who has “had a positive impact” on my life. I enjoy reading and rereading her books. You can view Luci Shaw’s page at Amazon and also visit her Official Website.
Her books have been with me through many life chapters, including grief and health challenges. She is an excellent writer, poetry and prose.
More meaning is added when I reread one of her books that helped me through a difficult time. I grow ever more grateful for my simple daily life.
My mother taught composition and literature at a university, and my father taught history where I attended high school. I began writing poetry in high school. And I remember learning how to sew and cook, and art projects in general.
