In my case, I belong to a group of aspiring and practicing biographers in Boston. We meet once a month for a coupla hours. It's become my lifeline - forgive the pun.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's like a special group of people that come from different parts of the planet to study with me. It's nice. I just gave a workshop in Boston at the New England Conservatory, which was really nice.
I don't have a normal job, so I really appreciate having friends who are writers and artists. It's fun to have a group of people you can call in the middle of the day to go for a hike.
I think of my own work as part of a decades-long conversation about books and reading with people I will mainly never meet.
I'm a journalist and author. I make my living by finding things out and writing about them.
Two days a week, I go to my office at The Grotto, a writer's collective in San Francisco. I get there at 8:15 and write until around 1 or 2 P.M.
I love meeting people who've read my books. The prime reason to be on the planet is to make things I can show to other people: paintings, books, movies.
I came to writing because I joined the North Clare Writers' Workshop, which met every week at Ennistymon Library.
I do this profession. I'm an actor. And it is, for me, an opportunity to meet people.
I make personal appearances around the country. I'm starting a book tour now, and I may be coming to Toronto with the Learning Annex, which I'm doing all through the United States, so that may come up just before Christmas.
I meet with people all day long.
