Ladies and Gents, there's a new movement in town. (And it's not a bowel movement.)

OMG. I'm sorry, okay? I am. What's with all the TMI topics lately? Apparently, I'm having issues. If only I had children on which I could blame the poop talk. You know, because of dirty diapers and stuff.

What? Full and squishy brown (sometimes green!) diapers don't make good blogging fodder?

Huh. Good thing I'm not a mom yet.

Back to the movement. (Hee. I'm so puerile.)

A community blogging site that I strongly support, IndieBloggers.org, has just launched. The site describes itself as:

Indie Bloggers is about giving exposure to bloggers who need to be read. Indie Bloggers is a showcase of written talent - stories, almost - that you may not see otherwise. Anyone can submit. Everyone may not be published right away or at all, but there are few restrictions (i.e., I don't want to hear about your sex life). INTIMIDATION IS UNNECESSARY. Indie Bloggers are your peers; we're in the same situation.

Basically, IndieBloggers is a community of writers who are able to re-publish their best pieces in a larger, more widely-read forum. It was first created as a community for those who are without a support group. It is for those who don't feel that they fit in with the MommyBloggers, the Politicos, the Foodies, or any of the other fantastic networks that already exist.

It is for males and females alike. It is for building community among writers. It is for showcasing your best work and gaining the exposure you deserve by reaching the audience that you otherwise might not reach. It is for the pure love of writing, and writing well.

Think you can hang? Consider joining.
