It's interesting because to me, I find that when I get together to talk about writing with fellow writers, discussion of the craft is seldom involved. These days I am more involved in writing screenplays, so I will talk with other writers about the films they have seen and enjoyed, but again, actual discussion of the craft seldom happens.
I have found that more often than not, I will often talk to other writers about life, philosophy and whatever it is that serves as inspiration or the fodder of writing.
I guess when it comes to the process, then yes, for me it tends to be pretty private, though I do enjoy writing in public places. Often times being surrounded by the energy of other people who are familiar but not necessarily friends, provides a source of energy and inspiration.
When it comes to editing my scripts, I will come to a circle of my most trusted friends to help provide feedback for the process, but I will once again return to a solitary mode for my actual editing.
Hope that gives you some insight. Thanks for the question!
