Job Posting

I was thinking last night about how nice it would be to have someone to talk to about all this writing and publishing stuff. There isn't a writer's group in my area. I'm hoping to start one. Still, it would be nice to have one friend who's sort of "been-there-done-that". We could discuss rejection letters over coffee and critique manuscripts. I've heard that writing can be a lonely profession. Where do you go to find an author/mentor/friend? Perhaps I'll take out an ad on "CraigsList". It might read something like this:
