I don't like meeting other writers for the most part because it destroys my positive perceptions of them.
most of'em are junkies, alcoholics, egotistical maniacs, weird physical traits, etc...
The less writers you meet, the better off you are.....period.
Less beef
Less people that know your identity
Less likelihood someone gets pissed at you over some percieved bullshit
and hacks your car in the middle of the night
