I saw that you created a group for the Bay Area -- I've got friends down that way, too! (Of course, we Houstonians are so very spread out.) Maybe I can take part in a meet-up over that way at some point.
Like you, I'm interested in socializing and networking with other writers & editors. There is a local critique group, but sometimes I want some socializing more than critiquing -- especially since I already know people who can critique for me. As far as I know, the critique groups don't seem very keen on socializing or networking. And they often focus on fiction -- whereas I write quite a bit of nonfiction.
I'm looking forward to seeing this network grow. Please feel free to invite others.
Oh, by the way, what's your username on AbsoluteWrite?
Best,
Julia

Depends on which group. Generally a place to socialize, network, trade hints, make friends and learn from one another. Might be interested in a small critique circle with other journeyman (but not completely new) writers.
Would you be interested in real-life group meetings?
