They allow us to truly talk to each other and listen. <br /><br />Online support groups are treasure for writers and others seeking solace and advice.

I find it in libraries and on walks in nature as well. Usually, I am walking dogs with my husband, but I still mange to trail off in my own thoughts. It is also the time we can talk about work and other things, so being outdoors is always valuable time. The online support groups, like IWSG are important to me, since I am never long enough in one place to become part of a writing group.
