OK, before I present my “tag post” let me just say, this is a perfect example of gender differences. Since I entered into the female dominated world of romantic suspense, I have been amazed at the scope and depth of the sisterhood network. Now don’t get me wrong. I said that to Candace once and her feathers went up. I mean it in a positive way. You see, guys generally have a few buds, I mean five, six or seven. But the ladies, their network is massive. They have both more capability and appreciation for the value and benefit of the network. Men tend to be mavericks. We take pride is solo accomplishment. But women, they are more talented in the avenue of creating and expanding their network. There, I said, in this single case, women are better than men (g).
Now here’s my tag as part of the extended network (and I appreciation the inclusion):
Yes, I got tagged by a beautiful and talented author Ciara Gold (or as I call her, Golden Girl). So here are the six things that make me happy:
1. When I watch my grand daughter hug her daddy (my son), that makes me happy.
2. When I watch my wife giggle and chat with her girlfriends and I know she’s having a ball, that makes me happy.
3. When I watch a child at an Easter hunt get such a thrill out of a simple colored egg, that makes me happy
4. When I watch a wife hug her husband after he’s returned from a tour in harm’s way, that makes be happy.
5. When I watch my son get excited about spending time with his girlfriend, yeap, makes me happy.
6. And when a special friend of mind gets healthy again, she will make be very happy.
So here are my six victims:

By golly, I think you’re getting the hang of this networking thing we women do so well. LOL. Welcome to the other side. In all fairness though, I sorta disaggree a bit with your opening though. I’m a bit like you. I have three best friends that I keep in touch with and tell my deepest secrets to. I have my buddies, a whole host of on-line friends that I feel connected to because of our common love for writing. And then I have acquaintances, folks I know, can carry on a conversation with but whom I probably wouldn’t invite to my house for tea. I actually feel more comfortable with my solo accomplishments as well but I have no problem sharing the glory when I have to. Dunno, does that make me different than you in the way I handle friends or the same?
No, makes you a tomboy like Candi and Mindy (g). Actually, I stated it wrong in the post. It makes total sense that women would have a small close bundle of friends (I’m in that group, right, GG?). But women, I think, are more attuned to seek out a broad web of netorking friends, at least that’s been my experience. The young ladies I worked with talked about it all the time. They even had sessions in their “women seminars” of how to do it. Never saw the young guys talking about it, or BSing about it. Maybe its a generation thing, but my sense is that “most” women are better at networking then “most” men.
