Lovely evening the other night with other writer-types, who seem to find each other even in the middle of nowhere, like iron shavings attracted to a central creative magnet. The kind of gathering powered by human interaction rather than electricity, entertainment without being bombarded by entertainment. Technology allowed guests to showcase their talents and a faraway friend to attend. But the focal point was people and their imaginations. I'd had a long week so I left early, but would have liked to stick around for more.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. People in our line of work need connections with others who can understand the loneliness of our craft.
