Writing can be a solitary business. All those hours spent with nothing but a blank page and a bottomless coffee cup.
On reflection we reckon it's probably good to interact with other human beings occasionally.
It can stop you going full fruit-loops. (You know...dressing as your main character and wandering around the house talking to yourself.)
It can help you find friendly Alpha / Beta readers.
It can boost the learnies.
It can even help you become more productive... apparently.
So this week, we thought we'd have a look at the benefits of reaching out to other writers. Be it through communities like Writers' HQ, classes, retreats or social media.
And in the process we stumble across a writer who is living proof of just how beneficial reaching out to others can be...and then some!
