You call her your best friend and in one post mentioned she had a male roomate. <BR/><BR/>I hope she is your GF and if not, you better straighten that out, because it sounds as if you are truly in love with this wonderful woman.<BR/><BR/>And I would bet, she would not mind one bit to keep you company while you write your book and attend to you and provide some relevant discourse and respite while you work.<BR/><BR/>I believe you may find yourself not only more productive but more creative and expressive.<BR/><BR/>:)Gucci Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04952459516058113168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924915372975226762.post-61589686488522523082008-02-01T11:06:00.000-05:002008-02-01T11:06:00.000-05:00I will let you know.

I was not able to write any books when with AM for nine years (that might have been down to the pressure, breaking of finger etc.) and I have not written anything of length since being happy with Surreal Girl because I have not wanted to devote that much time to a project and away from my best friend. However, I am about to start writing a big book again, so we shall see and I will let you know.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10882543653925973357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924915372975226762.post-60722848874382780692008-02-01T10:54:00.000-05:002008-02-01T10:54:00.000-05:00I can't comprehend the length of self imposed isol...I can't comprehend the length of self imposed isolation for bookwriting-so there is not any moment in those three months you have any human interaction? <BR/><BR/>Surely you must! <BR/><BR/>I would think the complete opposite would be true-more human interaction results in flowing work.

Excluding other voices – even down to not listening to my beloved Radio 4 or music with lyrics brings isolation of another sort into the mix.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10882543653925973357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924915372975226762.post-22351277171085522232008-02-01T02:39:00.000-05:002008-02-01T02:39:00.000-05:00Thank you Fat Cat, what a nice compliment, despite...Thank you Fat Cat, what a nice compliment, despite the Quiet Man saga that dominates this blog. <BR/><BR/>Yes, loneliness is very pervasive in our society- and I am convinced it is so prevalent due to our selfishness. <BR/><BR/>I also did not realize the fact confirmed by yourself and David regarding the loneliness of book writing. It must be very taxing.Gucci Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04952459516058113168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924915372975226762.post-80783945780817471442008-01-31T16:57:00.000-05:002008-01-31T16:57:00.000-05:00Loneliness is the great scourge of the modern worl...Loneliness is the great scourge of the modern world. We are surrounded by people everywhere we go, and yet alone in the crowds, and mostly, alone in our homes. <BR/><BR/>I can relate to what David said. Writing a book must be the loneliest undertaking in the world. Not only do I have to shut out friends, and defer my family, but I also have to shut out part of myself. If I read too much while I am writing, it dilutes my voice, so I have to cut out reading, too. It really is a dead run to the finish line, hoping you finish a halfway decent book before your fear, loneliness and insecurities consume you.<BR/><BR/>Muse, your blog is always so interesting! You leave me with so many things to think about.<BR/><BR/>Fat CatPat Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004933270844397256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924915372975226762.post-14441619552276874682008-01-26T12:18:00.000-05:002008-01-26T12:18:00.000-05:00David- what a sight that would be-a veritable Jerr...David- what a sight that would be-a veritable Jerry Springer event, especially with the reality transformed anonimity the internet permits for us all.Gucci Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04952459516058113168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924915372975226762.post-40099634397505454072008-01-26T12:12:00.000-05:002008-01-26T12:12:00.000-05:00Yes, you are right.

The societal change to looking out for one's self to survive, replaced the more communal survival of the past.<BR/><BR/>Shadow-it is a lonely, insensitive world. And the complexities of human interaction are made complex by humans living in a modern world.<BR/><BR/>David-the flip to the internet, blogs for example, I imagine as a respite to loneliness for many, for though the interaction is not human contact in its truest form, it delivers. Now, to transform the camaraderie the internet brings in its largess of anonymity, to everyday lives, is another thing.Gucci Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04952459516058113168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924915372975226762.post-30262791391687590832008-01-23T13:37:00.000-05:002008-01-23T13:37:00.000-05:00Loneliness is a growing problem.

The more people only connect through the virtual, the more forces try to make us live as insect drones, the abandonment of the older generation to lives of quiet isolation ... There are times when I stutter, find myself in a room of people and feel totally alone, outside of it all, I have had periods of self-induced loneliness - the months of book writing with no contact with anyone - yet this is nothing to the deep loneliness I know so many in my city experience every moment.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10882543653925973357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924915372975226762.post-71367353698716522512008-01-22T21:31:00.000-05:002008-01-22T21:31:00.000-05:00that site always make me so sad and introspective....that site always make me so sad and introspective. <BR/><BR/>people call me too sensitive but i think that just their way of saying they don't care.<BR/><BR/>i truly believe if more people were sensitive to what was happening in other peoples lives, we'd have a better world<BR/><BR/>i agree with puss<BR/><BR/>its strange how something so simple like companionship can be missing from so many lives when there are so many peopleShadowFalconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705530281109481071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924915372975226762.post-75736326006634154802008-01-21T12:36:00.000-05:002008-01-21T12:36:00.000-05:00Yes, that postcard touched me, too.You know, I thi...Yes, that postcard touched me, too.<BR/><BR/>You know, I think loneliness is a consequence of modern life - the cult of the individual above all else.
