That is a good question that doesn't have an easy answer, but let me first say that I'm glad you found us. When a friend recommends a book to you, you can't look at several pages and expect to understand and appreciate the entire book because it's the entire experience that they are recommending and in order to get the full effect you have to dive in and read the whole thing. I feel like Hubski is similar in this regard. In order to understand what makes the "community tick", you must invest some time. That said, I'll try and provide some links below but it really boils down to having multiple conversations and interactions with one another over a broad array of topics.

#tngpodcast -This is a podcast that I put together interviewing and asking questions of the Hubski community around a topic. It's been a few months since I've done one but I'm currently working on one titled "why do you write."

#storyclub -A relatively new addition to Hubski, this is where a number of us collaborate on building a short story together

badges -We are able to give one another appreciation for the best content on the site. (an idea we've had and utilized long before others have)

We read together

I would highly recommend subscribing to the Hubski Newsletter that insomniasexx has been putting together, it's a great way to see some of the most interesting posts and conversations, plus she features old content "from the vault" that might help you better understand where we've been in the past as a group.

You can read past newsletters here

As I mentioned, these are just some of the things that help us form tight bonds. Really, these are just some of my favorites. There are so many more. Hopefully some other people will jump in and help me out.

If you have any questions about the site, let me know. Welcome.
