Surrounding oneself with a pool of writers is one perk of living the writing lifestyle, and seeing how people travel so differently down their own path is a treat that makes all those solitary hours worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>So, although I know part of the reason you are here is to see how I go about my journey as a writer, there&#39;s an extra prize inside the box.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#39;m going to take a break from talking about my insomnia, strange dreams, and ever-growing list of WIPS and shine the light on a few of the many writing superstars that I have the pleasure of knowing.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few chats that I&#39;ll be sharing in the near future with my fellow writers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>My buddy <a href=\"http:\/\/barrynapierwriting.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Barry Napier<\/a> is making some serious waves in the writing community.

I&#39;ll be posting an interview with him soon in my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/x-33703-Toronto-Writing-Examiner\" target=\"_blank\">Writing column<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Another cool writing guy, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ian-rogers.com\/journal\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ian Rogers<\/a>, has been kind enough to answer my very open-ended query for his experiences working with small presses, and I&#39;ll be putting that up soon, as well. Plus &#8211; he dressed up like one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/lostpedia.wikia.com\/wiki\/DHARMA_Initiative\" target=\"_blank\">Dharma Initiative<\/a> for Halloween. How can you not want to know what makes Ian tick?!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> 2 of my fellow <a href=\"http:\/\/tca.spruz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Creative Alliance<\/a> members will also be answering some hard-hitting (and hopefully not half-baked or hair-brained) questions soon. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I&#39;ll be showcasing the &#8211; yes, <em>THE<\/em> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/jennybeans.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jenny Beanses<\/a> this June as part of her blog tour<\/li>\n<li>Plus, I&#39;ll be getting a sneak peak at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerotorockstar.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Ro Van Saint&#39;s<\/a> new ebook, <em>Tales From The Abyss<\/em>, and will be providing you with a double-shot of writerly tidbits, including an interview and review of the story<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> Phew!
