I feel bad for some people. I mean they go through their lives trying to find a place that they belong. Many writers go through this. Sometimes they are lucky and can a writers’ group. But other times, they live in small towns and really have no connection to other writers.
They are scared to make that leap and put themselves out for ridicule so refuse to put an ad in the paper to meet other writers. They don’t want to wait at a proposed meeting place only to be the only one there an hour after the arranged meeting time. Writers are very fickle creatures. It is hard for us to just jump out there and say ‘howdy’. Many of us just want to be left alone and allowed to work.
Sadly, the few who do wish to expand and start living life to the fullest may meet certain sites that claim community and the ability to help writers gain a sense of themselves. However, this is untrue. There is no sense of community and very few of these places even care about the writers.
Their concern? Money. They realize that they cannot make money until they garner up a few thousand writers. So they paint pretty and enticing mental images with pretty and enticing words hoping to lure the unsuspecting into their web. Then they use the people they claim to wish to help.
Be careful. An aware writer is the one who will meek out a living on their words. One who is unaware will some day be eating theirs.

An amazing world out here…

I look outside and though sometimes it is cloudy, it is amazing. The winds blow different here than from Klamath falls. It is almost as if Coos Bay is a completely different world. The foliage is the same, yet different,. The weather is the same, but different.
For example, in Klamath Falls, the winds blew from the lake. The winds would reach our house from a northern direction. Here, the wind comes off the ocean, always carrying a briny smell, which hits us from the west. In Klamath falls, the trees are more pine than anything else, except in the city limits, where you have the oaks, elms, and willows. Here… I haven’t even begun to recognize half the plants. I mean, there are still the pines, but there are numerous other trees that I have not been around very often and have yet to memorize.
In Klamath falls, you drive north for a half hour and you are in the forest. East, you end up in high desert (see my facebook for pics). West is another city. South… well, that’s California. In Coos Bay, north, you see the coast. West, you are on the ocean. South, you are on the coast. East, you are in the mountain range.
The people are so much nicer here, too. Everyone has a warm smile and a welcoming hello. People go out of their way to help others it seems. In Klamath Falls, you are much more likely to see averted faces and eyes and hear mutterings behind your back.
Is Coos Bay the nicest place in Oregon? Maybe, maybe not. I haven’t seen enough of Oregon to give you a definite answer. But Coos Bay is a wonderful place to visit if you love the coast and happy people.
