It's good for motivation, it's good for inspiration, and it's hella good practice, I tell ya!
I was able to have this experience at University.. but since then I haven't really found the 'right' group of people.
It's best to collaborate with people who have the same type of interest as you-- it doesn't really matter the type of format, as long as the are is similar, there will be some kind of flow.
Just how song writers and producers collaborate.. they collaborate with particular people because they 'get them', or they believe that if they come together they will be able to create something amazing.
Same case with writers! Or, if one writes, and one proofreads, it's all the same-- as long as you have a little team or a network of collaboratives, I don't see why it would be hard to create anything!
There is something called 'Collaborative Fiction' where you can both write parts of a story-- I've done that before and it is absolute fun. These are all different ways of not just keeping the motivation going, but to be able to work differently and to be exposed to different techniques.
I know there are some writers that are just well and good working by themselves; but once in a while it is good to come out of that shell and meet other writers, and put your heads together!
It's great fun.
