As a writer, you’re mostly going it alone. I no longer work with teams of people in corporate America. Yet, thanks to technology, I have a community of people who keep me connected to the world outside my office. There are editors, communities of fellow writers who share information on our craft, and fellow students in online classes. That informal team (most of whom I’ve never met) help me go farther. It’s hard to imagine being truly alone like Thoreau on Walden Pond.
