It isn't just for introverts, either. An extroverted friend worried out loud to me that her daughter needed a half hour alone in her bedroom every day after school. She thought that was weird. I told her it was very normal for an introvert who has dealt with people all day, and wonderfully healthy that her young daughter was able to take care of herself this way. I lent *The Introvert Advantage* to my friend and she loved it. She understands her daughter much better now. Have you read *The Introvert Advantage* by Marti Olsen Laney?

My name flashed when you wrote "weird". :-) Since I started writing full-time (or should I say not working a day job. I don't write for eight hours), I've become less social. I've neglected some friendships and didn't encourage new ones. But I did make new writer friends. And my local critique group forces me out of the house. But I always feel good to be in like company, to not make excuses for what I do. It's like group therapy. I agree that reality can become neglected if you let it. Tell the truth.
