What other writing forums and/or communities do you guys visit regularly that you find useful or inspirational?

(If this is the wrong section to post this under, I apologize profusely, She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Ticked-Off Ma'am.)

The only other forum I'm active on is David Farland's Writers' Groups.

In addition to a general forum, that one is also divided into smaller groups based on the writers' genre, length, and other factors. I gather that the usefulness depends on what group you belong to.

I've been sucked into kindleboards lately. If you are at all interested in self-e-publishing, the Writers' Cafe section is a fantastic resource. The community is friendly and eager to share advice.

Eh, don't worry about it, Rhaythe. This area is for the discussion and sharing of information about writing, so your topic fits well enough.

Thanks for starting it, by the way. There should be a lot of good information in here eventually.

We just had the same topic over on Absolute Write.

(Ignore the frightening new look; mind the calendar.)

I mostly use AW and Hatrack, but occasionally peek into others. No two have quite the same personality and focus.

I keep an eye on www.writingforums.org just to see what comes up, but compared to this site, the writers there seem younger in the writing process. Not that the occasional gem won't pop up there, but I've had an account and still haven't posted yet.
