"But why would you want to help someone do
something that puts them into competition with you?"
I was recently asked that question after a stranger overheard my enthusiasm about teaching an upcoming writing workshop... but you see I don't see how helping other aspiring writers enjoy their craft is competition. I see it as helping to create a word of communication.

When you three bring this show on the road, make sure to come to Georgia.

If we go on the road, we'll be sure to put Georgia on the list of destinations (with a guest speaker of course!)
I second what Malcolm says, only for Texas!
That's an interesting question posed about being in competition with other writers and I agree with you - it's far from competition. All of us have been helped by others. :)
Hi Karen,
It;s so true, the writing community is one of the most helpful groups I know of.
