I think writers are just everywhere. They don't just draw inspiration from one place - it's everywhere.

If you are thinking about somewhere you are particularly interested in writing or think you'd have some inspiration from, go where ever you feel comfortable.

With that said, I'm moving to Humboldt County.

Also...thank you for your lovely answer.

No writer's hangouts anymore. They were a thing of the long ago past.

You'd need a Wall Street salary these days to hang out and guzzle wine with the literati unless you do it at home. Then you could call it a "Salon!"

I think it's also because most writers write shît and are from places like Phoenix. ...hint...hint...

If that's the case, you should check out Williamsburg.

Writers dont hang out with each other while writing. By defintition writing is a solitary endeavor. Writers hang out with each other after they're published.

If you've been published somewhere at least moderately well-known, you will end up hanging out with where writers from that publishing house or magazine or whatever hang out because you will be in the "in' crowd and know. Each outfit has its own hangout and they're not always too anxious to welcome unknowns.

If you are unpublished, however, either join a writing class somewhere or get ready to be really friendly with your neighborhood barista.
