As someone who's had a writing habit/hobby for a long time, I've heard a lot about the importance of building a writing community. It's mentioned as a way to improve your writing through feedback, and as the best way to market your writing. There's a cynical edge to this, of course...like when kids are encouraged to do volunteer work to get into college. On the other hand, the practice of building community offers us the opportunity to get outside of ourselves, even if it’s for selfish purposes.
