Re: Question for writers

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!
