Your story makes me very aware of how thin that line between isolation and solitude truly is, and how much of that is determined by whether or not we <i>choose</i> it.<br /><br />Cynthia, I am becoming more and more convinced that there is just about nothing a good walk cannot cure.<br /><br />LOL, Kay! I'm certain it does!<br /><br />T.S., so interesting that you enjoy being around people when you're writing! I have had about zero luck with that. I am much too easily distracted by their conversations and dramas.<br /><br />Terri-Lynne: Very cool to hear from an extrovert who also craves solitude! Good for us introverts to keep in mind.<br /><br />And Jenn, thanks again so much for the terrific post!R.L.

Right now I'm sitting on the sofa with my laptop in my lap and my daughter sitting next to me playing the Wii. This is how I usually write, whether it's a blog or a novel. Unfortunately, that means I have to come out of my writing bubble and answer the occasional question like "What's for dinner?" or "Did you just see that dunk?" The nerve of them, speaking to me while I'm clearly having a conversation with my muse.T.S.

Some days and weeks, I get enough solitude and others not nearly enough. <br /><br />When there is no solitude to be found anywhere, I go for a long walk with my Ipod.

But then, the man of the house took a great job in a very small town and I learned first hand the difference between solitude and isolation. <br /><br />As reluctant as I am to share too much personal information, I will say that I came pretty close to losing it, mentally. I began suffering from panic attacks, extreme worry, hypochondria (well, worse than what I already have) and I pretty much became scared of my own shadow. It was such a horrible place to be. It took me three years to find a job (this place is big on nepotism and I was (and still am) an outsider) and the volunteer work I did just wasn't doing the trick. I needed more.<br /><br />I am happy to report that I've returned to my old normal self, mostly. I vowed that I would never, ever, ever allow myself to get into that situation again. The lessons I learned about myself were invaluable but I think I would rather've learned them another way.nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902970183089919383noreply@blogger.com
