I've been a bit of a hermit in my hole. Jan Term for school is optional for grad students, so I'm devoting what's left of it to my own personal projects, which requires me to be alone. A lot. Writing and revising, especially, can be quite lonely if it's not going well.
Before I was a writer, I was a reader, which required me to be physically alone, but in truth, I never felt alone. I was always entranced in dream worlds. As I've been a bit stuck with my writing, I've been reading quite a bit and rediscovering the joys of fiction.
Plus, sometimes it takes me a while to digest information to be able to fully articulate myself. Well, it's time to begin articulating. Now.

Hey Emily. Glad to hear you are poking your head out of the hermit hole.
Thanks, Damien! I have one ear and one eye out of the ground. The other ear and eye prefer the comfort of darkness.
Hey Emily, I know exactly what you mean about the need to be alone while writing and the "comfort of darkness." Happy reading and writing to you!
