Do you engage offline with other creatives? What did you/would you do if social media didn't exist?</p><p>I don't engage with other creatives offline. Not anymore.</p><p>There were some NaNo meetings several years ago, but I always felt like I didn't belong. For a while, I ran an author group, when that folded, I joined one, which also folded.</p><p>Instead, I've met my tribe online - mostly Autistic authors.
