There is one nice advantage to being an outdoors writer and getting to attend annual conferences of writing organizations. One such group that is no longer in existence is the Southeastern Outdoor Press Association that when active, held annual conferences somewhere in the southeastern United States.
I got to meet and rub shoulders with other writers whose works I have long admired and it means lot to get to pick the brains of and hang out with such folks.
One writer I met years ago – I don’t remember which conference I was attending when we met – is South Carolina humor writer, Jim Mize. I found him to be a guy so easy to chat with who always left me with a smile and chuckle. I looked forward to conference each year when we could get to visit again.
Jim always did me the honor of sharing his latest books with me and my library now holds each of the several ones he has written.
