Networking Opportuntiy from Netera

Every now and then I let you know of a resource where you can learn more. Sometimes of places where you can socialize. Today, I'm sending you to a place where you can do both with two very long time online writing friends:

Denise Fleischer of Gotta Write Network says, "Netera's coffeeshop (see image of the virtual shop in this post (-: ) is a meeting place at www.Secondlife.com for writers and artists.
Chats and exhibits will be scheduled. Or, if you're looking for a comfortable place to sit back, relax and meet new friends, come join us."

For those unfamiliar with Second Life, just visit www.secondlife.com and download the software (it's free), create an avatar (which is a character that represents you), type "Netera's Coffee Shop " in the search bar, and then , once you find it, click on it and press the buttom that says "Teleport " which will take you directly to the coffee shop. Then just walk in and join the fun.

Why not drop by, and join in when my poetry writing partner and novelist Magdalena Ball , author of Repulsion Thrust and Sleep Before Evening, is interviewed on the 10th of Dec 7pm Central (US) Time. There will be plenty of opportunity for audience interaction, and it will give you a feel for how you might also participate in this innovative opportunity.

With over 9 million people on Second Life spending money on intangibles like e-books, it's a promotional (and enjoyable) arena that's too good to miss. To pitch Denise directly, visit: http://www.gottawritenetwork.com/ for details or contact her "inworld" directly from within Second Life by searching for Netera Landar and sending her a message. She's very happy to help people find their virtual legs!
