Well MAB, I think the last guy you hooked me up with lived in Tallassee. About 2 1/2 hrs away. Still, compared to Justin in Texas, not totally bad. I did go meet him on a trip to Apalachicola, but it turned out he wrote blues only. I never did ask him about co-writing.

Phil, I can relate.
Seems to me there are folk who want to cowrite as long as it is their stuff and you are only there to supply company , coffee, and the odd line .
Or they simply want an audience and are not really into cowriting.
I have stopped trying to find local writers. I had more success in Utah,Pittsburgh, NC, Widnes UK, NYC and Paris than locally.
although Ill admit I have stopped going to Open mics and writers night almost do not exist. NSAI in Melbourne died 2years ago for similar lack of interest. The core group wasnt big enough to sustain the meetings .Not enough new blood and, from NSAI I had only one tenuous cowriting contact and she was more into gut wrenching , self immolation, psycho-woe is me stuff. and one performing writer that I simply could not find the page he was on. Maybe the problem is me :)
