I'm with you on the writing-togetherness thing. In the sense that I don't want it, I mean. I've tried signing up for the write-ins and such but, honestly, it's better when it's just me with the headphones on ignoring the world around me. As a retired writer, too, and on the east coast, most sprints and write-ins are not on my schedule. I write first thing in the morning here, and concentrate on marketing and editing and formatting other times of the day. Cheers to much success!
