How do you build a writing group? Who knows. A great place to start looking is your local reading series. Go to that. Talk to the organizers. Read the work of your 'neighbors' --zines, or online magazines, or anything. See who lives around you. Find your people. Make something cool w/ a few of them

I meet people all the time, bummed because they only make art sporadically. I say that's great. Who cares about volume? Just make one thing you love this year. One thing. But then again, if you baked in deadlines, face-to-face meetups, fun, constructive arguments ... the thing usually glows gold

Oh and I forgot, I've got a new story called "Our Father" in a UK magazine ... the story is about a son who disappointed his father by not becoming a surgeon but then the terminally ill father keeps dying, resurrecting, dying, resurrecting, and so the son decides to cut him open to see what's wrong
