Despite what movies show us about writers as lone wolves struggling with their genius and isolation, writers should be social animals. While some recent studies by York University have suggested that reading fiction can enhance social skills I believe the reverse is also true: enhancing personal skills can help you create better fiction. You can use your own interpersonal relationships as kindling for a creative flame. Just, for the sake of your friendships, don't turn your writing into gossip about your friends.
Also, if you have other friends into writing or creative projects try to group together to create. You can feed off each others creative juices.
