As you probably know if you've been following this blog, the concept of writing as a lonely pursuit is often a fallacy, or at least a melodramatic representation of the writer as a lonely, angst-ridden individual. Sure, some of us are--and I know many writers are introverts--but one of my favorite things about being an author is that I'm part of a community, or several communities. (In my case, primarily speculative fiction and children's fiction.) And one of the things I miss most now that I don't live in a major city filled with other writers is getting together with my friends to write together.
