Is anyone out there?
Since I've started taking my writing seriously I've spent a great deal of time researching it. The ins and outs of publishing, genre, and writing methods. My research has not been in vain. I've found dozens of great sites like www.deadlinedames.com that are full of helpful information. The one thing I've struggled to find is other authors in my neck of the woods that write Urban Fantasy. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place. So to fulfill the need to interact with other writers I started a local writing group. The membership has narrowed down to 6 consistent authors from varying genres. But no surprise I'm the only one writing under SF/F. So if anyone out there reading this is living in Oklahoma and feels the same toss me a line and let me know I'm not alone.

Congratulations on getting serious about writing! Like you, I write urban fantasy and started my own writing group. It's one of the best things I've ever done. Everyone needs that kind of support and friendship.
ReplyDeleteAre you familiar with OWFI? Do you write YA fantasy? If so, are you a member of SCBWI? Both are great organizations in our area. Both offer great conferences where you can meet agents, editors, and other writers.
Good luck and happy writing!
I'm in the process of joining OWFI, but I hadn't heard of SCBWI. I'm planning on going to the OKC conference in the Spring. Maybe we'll run into each other. Thanks for the encouragement, and info.
