Writing is a lonely profession.

Writing is an antidote for loneliness.

Writing is an incredibly lonely job.

Honestly, I find writing to be a very lonely job.

Writing is a lonely business.

Gatherings and, simultaneously, loneliness are the conditions of a writer's life.

Writing is a solitary endeavor, but not a lonely one. When you write, your world is populated by the characters you invent, and you feel those people filling your life.

If you write fiction, you're by yourself. There are certain advantages to that in that you don't have to explain anything to anybody. But when you get in with others who share the loneliness of the whole enterprise, you're not lonely anymore.

Writing can be a very solitary business. It's you sat at a desk typing words into a computer. It can get lonely sometimes and lots of writers live quite isolated lives.

You know you lose a lot of social skills if you're a writer. You spend too long alone. And its forced me to address that.
