I love meeting SF fans and readers, especially during conventions. I get such a buzz talking to like minded people, scientists, dreamers and artists who have an eye to the future. I'm always inspired by their enthusiasm, intrigued by their ideas. Meeting others is definitely not a distraction.
Thanks for the question.
