Sometimes, meeting an e-friend face to face results in a lifetime friendship in the real world. These meetings are worth the effort, the worry, the logistics, the research, the cost, the anticipation, the fear, the knowledge you are going to show yourself up, and the general feeling of unease until the whole fucking thing is over and done with and you can then get back to your writing without the additional distraction of trying to answer her emails and read her stories while writing your own even when it’s obvious her stories are so much better it’s embarrassing and everyone is laughing at you and at how much you’re humiliating yourself in front of all the multitudes. But some such meetings may not be worth this effort.
