I spent the weekend being reminded that writers still need to connect with each other. Writers' Conferences are wonderful.<BR/><BR/>I think finding a delicate balance between the solitude and the socializing is what can make us the best writers we can be.J.R.

I love being alone with my thoughts, and not having to interact with anyone (that's the shy, introverted part of me). But I'm so glad I have family and friends to turn to when I DO need people. Those relationships are so crucial to my mental well-being.Janna Leadbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06339705935553160673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-9731890179758574422009-02-23T09:16:00.000-07:002009-02-23T09:16:00.000-07:00For the most part I LOVE the solitude.

Immersed in something I love, I feel surrounded by goodness, thoughts, ideas, words, creativity, time. Almost so that when I emerge back into real life, it can feel like I've left someone behind!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.com
