Writing is lonely.
It's self-absorbed and introspective, too, this craft of arranging words that, ultimately, reveals too much to readers who may or may not care. To escape the solitude, many writers seek their own kind. They look for others who hope to be published, others who deal with similar frustrations and others who might see that a character in a story wouldn't sit and cry when her mother left, but chase after her instead. With an energetic writing community, Cincinnati has many places to harness that kind of cooperation. You are the only one who can create your work.
