Being a blogger in Second Life certainly comes with an array of frustrations. There are timelines to blog items, trying to figure out where to apply for various events, locating the perfect venue for a photograph, trying to match fashionable apparel and accessories together without looking like a total clown, etc… The list is nearly endless. It can be a challenge to know where to turn when you have a question or concern.
That is why I’ve chosen Katya Valeska as my next Pay It Forward Project “victim.” You see… Miss Valeksa somewhat recently started up a group, and also a website here in Second Life called [SL] Blogger Support. The website is filled with fantastic resources, tutorials, places to visit, challenges, etc…
The [SL] Blogger Support has an impressive support team that Miss Valeska has put together including Lila Quander, Luna Jubilee, BellaStarr Fhang, Magenta DeVinna, and Kaelyn Alecto. All of these women are informed, and enthusiastic about helping the blogging community, new and old find their place on the grid.
I chose Katya as my next Pay It Forward person because I felt what she was doing for the Second Life Blogging community was really special, as well as incredibly encouraging. The community can unfortunately at times be a bit of a challenge when you are either new, or looking for answers to questions. This group has opened up the door for bloggers to come together and help one another grow and improve. It is an absolutely fantastic resource for inspiration and guidance when you need it most.
If you are a blogger and you are interested in joining the [SL] Blogger Support group you can apply here.
Keeping in theme with The Pay It Forward Project I also wanted to mention a really encouraging Pay It Forward entry from Miss Aemeth Lysette. Her blog entry is heartfelt, encouraging, and very real. I encourage you all to check it out. It was certainly an entry that made me have a very different outlook on a lot in general, and shows the power of a genuine and true friendship that she found & needed most during a very difficult time in her life. Thanks Aemeth for opening up and sharing with others who you value most here in Second Life.
That’s all from me today. I’m sorry this hasn’t been a weekly thing like I hoped it would be. I don’t ever want to feel rushed or pushed to pick someone weekly because of a deadline, I rather it be an easy and obvious decision when I feel someone fits the project! 
Congratulations Katya and thanks again so much for being my next Pay It Forward Project “victim!”
