Schmoozing

• So what exactly is schmoozing?
• Who can do it?  
• What's the purpose?
  
  Well according to Merriam Webster here's what "schmooze" means:
  
  To converse informally : chat; also : to chat in a friendly and persuasive manner especially so as to gain favor, business, or connections 
  
  And what could be better than getting together with like-minded folk and chatting about the thing we are most interested in: writing.
  
  Well, if you're like me, and love talking with other writers then listen up:
