Is there really a place called Deep Ellum? That explains the song then, by the Grateful Dead: When you go to Deep Ellum Put your money in your shoes Women in Deep Ellum Got them Deep Ellum blues Well, maybe it doesn't explain the song. But at least I get the reference now.

I will PM. And I am excited. You are right that most groups are to be avoided. My writing partner noticed the flyer for the goup in Barnes and Noble. They're sponsering it and we meet there for free with on the workers who's a writer leading it. She's maybe twenty and very low key. She's a writer, too, and we're reading a story by her for next week. She's... well, d**m, she's sweet. Really. So much so it makes me laugh. In a good way. The group is very diverse in many ways. It reminds me of here. And that's great in the sense that not only is that fun but you get many perspectives on a story. The common link is that we like each other, which just happened, and everyone sees the kernal of the story.. what the writer is trying to get at, to say, express, and then goes on to take it apart to bring that out better. And the people who listen while it happens take it with grace because they really want their stories to be better. Of course sometimes you have to say "no, I I I want it this way". A writer's perocative. It does give me a twinge to sit down with Rambi stories with you and them and have them go on. I think you'd be amazed and I know that they'd love it. Or whatever the heck you're working on. And, no, there's no "how to write to be published" but the idea of pushing each other to create finished stories that could be, should be. I'm rambling.
