As I write this I am coming down from a 24 hr caffeine high. I was on the road for 12 hrs a day doing nothign but driving, scribbling notes, and listening to audio books–all of this in a caffeinated haze with no food. There were niblets, ofc rouse, but nothing thart would constitue a meal. Food isn’t the issue. This is a blog about the value of spednign time by yourself.
On the road I remembered how much I enjoy being alone at times. Writing itself is a solitary art, and those who chose it as a vocation are generally people who want to have a significant amount of time to themselves. Now, what we do with that time varies from writer to writer, but the key is to be looking within yourself for the message or truth or bit of understanding that you want to share with the world.
