Heather and I have found that one very important part of our friendship is the time we spend together. If we don't spend time together often we both end up discouraged. This, of course, isn't always easy as we are both busy and have very different schedules, but we have found that we have to be willing to put the effort into finding times to do something together if we want to have a strong friendship.
So how do we do it? Well we are both usually free in the evenings so that's when we get together. We get away from other distractions like the TV (for me, at least) and we talk, and giggle and work on the books we are writing together, or do something else fun instead.
Like most things I post about, it wasn't easy at first - Heather would have to remind me before I would remember to get away from the TV, but it is easier now, and I enjoy the time more once I get away from distractions and can give Heather all my attention.
Spending quality time with your friends is a very important part of friendships - whether you take a walk with them, go on a bike ride, or do something online with them doesn't really matter as long as you are both paying attention to the other.
