Virtual friends could be great friends too



You can't be alone nowadays in the real sense. Your cell phone is always with you, together with tablets and computers. WI-FI is everywhere, so when you sit at the coffee bars, you can check your gadgets to see is anyone there to talk to you.

You might lose your friend's circle during life. They will get married and separate from social life. They will work in another city. Even when you will wish to talk to them, you will realize there is no accurate topic to talk about.

"How are you? How is at work?" it will be a formal question, and you will get an answer:

"I am good. It is alright with my work."

Further questions will be:

"How is your wife? How are kids?"

"She is good. Kids are good, too. "

This will not be a conversation you wish for. You used to talk about plans, dreams, dates, and now life becomes a formality. It is scheduled life, it is conversations about loans and bills, kids, jobs, and there is nothing special about this.

There is no wonder, why you can't find a common language with your previous friends. They got lost somewhere in the midst of duties and daily routine.

If you stream to a different life, you will find different circles. Virtual friends are one of the options.

My virtual friends are great. I never met in reality people who helped me so much. They read my books, they helped me with editing, they promote my business and I can talk with them about everything. They can't replace my social life in reality, but they made me happy when I was sad, they made me calm when I was in fear and it means a lot to me.

You will think it is strange to make a connection with people from different parts of the world, different religions, or different races. It is about diversity and I was always open-minded. I found more things in common than with friends in real life. 

Virtual friends can be great friends, too. They are not only numbers and photos and avatars. Behind their devices are people with their jobs, families, interest. You might click with some of them for many reasons. 

One day you might meet some of them. If I will have such an opportunity, I will use it in the best way.

6 signs that your readers don't read your book

Your book is live. That day came, and now you need an audience, a reader's community to show interest. What you need are readers who will read and review your book. The author feel excited like a student who went to the exam and waits for his mark. In this situation, you are not afraid of negative reviews. What is the point?

A real reader will need time to read book. It is not fast eating and swallowing, there is much more in reading books. It demands your time, focus and attention, also understanding.
