I'd like to meet other writers and readers.
I'd also like to meet rodeo clowns, forensic pathologists, veterinarians, midwives, animal trainers and able bodied seamen.
In short, I like to meet interesting people from all walks of life. One of the reason I enjoy interacting with readers and other chance met people on the Internet is that every one of them is an expert in something. Often people don't realize or value the sort of expertise they've acquired in their lives. What I've discovered as a writer is that people are always the first and best writing resource for me. If you really want to know about something, be it carpet laying or how to shoe a horse, the best way to understand it is to find someone who thinks it's easy because they do it all the time.
I always have to smile when the interviewer asks the inevitable question, "Where do you get your ideas?"
All you have to do is ask someone about their area of expertise, and all the 'what if' stories start sprouting.
