So what do the Bootcampers DO?

Support, support, support! Did I mention support? *grin*

Our love of writing and story telling banded us together. Who could have predicted that when we signed up for the Bootcamp? I didn't.

Since then we continue to keep contact using our group email, have a book-in-a-week challenge every month, chat in our Bootcamp cyber-room every couple of weeks, and have done a whole day online workshop on plotting. And of course, there's the support... *grin*

It's also a group run by its members. We have various 'mums' undertaking different aspects. Let's see we have:

• Rachel as our Founding mum - the Bootcamp was her idea.
• Hannah and Eleni as the Group list mums
• Janine as the BIAW mum
• Dana as the Chat mum
• Roseanne as the Publicity mum (updates our Successful Missions section)
• Anne as our Workshop mum
  
• Jacqueline as Library mum
• Eleni as Blog mum
• Alison who has been the Chat/Workshop Transcript mum lately :)

We have become a tight knit group of friends. And I tell you, it doesn't get any better than that!

In the beginning....

In November 2007, those embarking in first Bootcamp offered by the Romance Writers of Australia would not know that seven months later, we would still going strong. We were lucky - we all got along. What started as individual writers all doing the same workshop resulted in a group of like-minded writers learning, discussing and supporting eachother even though we write for different markets.

These ladies, our wonderful moderator Rachel Robinson and our wonderful presenters - Anne Gracie, Robyn Grady, Anna Campbell, Melissa James, Diane Gaston and Denise Rossetti - helped me to get my writing groove back. I'm so happy to be part of the Bootcamper team - and to continue our mission of producing the best possible stories we can.

So come in and join in our fun on our Bootcamper blog!
