Is anyone out there?....

As a new writer, I had no idea how lonely it would be to become an author. I work from home, or anywhere I can get a connection on my laptop. I stay up late, I start early, I am always writing. When I’m writing, it feels like the world around me dies and the one I am creating is where I live. But when I’m done writing or I need to come back to my own reality….it’s a lonely place. I spend hours alone in the quiet with just the pitter patter of my dogs feet on the floors or the cat begging for my attention. I long to go back to the world I’m creating as it’s so much more fascinating than my own.

Who knew that in order to create alternative worlds through words, you have to be alone in your own?
