I feel thoroughly embarrassed when friends attempt to introduce me to other writers, writing groups, or group writing projects. I must admit that I have absolutely NO interest in any of them; nor do I wish to talk about writing, or anything related to my own writing. I’m a writer of fiction, not a writer of writing. When I see supposed writers online talking endlessly about their own writing, how they write, when they write, what they write about, etc. I think “Why not stop talking about writing and actually do some”. And furthermore, how can you possibly give away what’s in your head before you’re finished mining it. Seems dangerous to me.
