Another Follow Friday- How You Can Help

We've all been stunned and saddened by the horrifying events in Japan recently. Our hearts go out to so many who are suffering and who have lost so much. Everyone's thoughts immediately turn to how to help and contribute to ongoing relief efforts. There are many ways to support relief efforts that are sponsored by the writing community. I've listed a few below, along with some other organizations who are also working to help Japan in this critical time of need. I'm sure there are many more possibilities for giving and, if you know one you'd like to tell us about, just list it in the comments.

We hope everyone will find a way they can give.
