Craving Adult Human Interaction!!!

So now that I have this new sense of self, including revelation of my life purpose, I have been pretty busy! I am moving onward and upward with my writing and public speaking calling. When I started really getting into the wonderful world of writing, I decided that I needed to find a space away from home to let my creative juices flow. Well, I made a decision to take time several days a week to go to my local library, bookstore or café to settle into a good writing space.

 When I originally decided to start writing away from home, my reasoning was as follows: to have a space in which I wouldn’t be affected by household distractions (i.e. the phone, laundry or the infamous INTERNET); to have a space unlike my usual four walls to invoke new thoughts and concepts; and to have an opportunity to feel tangible change! Well, I must say since I have been writing outside of the home, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! The creative juices have been flowing like never before and I’ve been producing some pretty good stuff, if I must say so myself.

 Then the other day I was reading one of my newest favorite books, Writer Mama, by Christina Katz. In one section she alludes to the fact that writing outside of the home is a way to fulfill the need of adult human interaction. Well, this I had never considered before. Was I secretly craving to be around other people? Was I lonely at home? Could it be that all of these years spent working from home and being home with the kids had taking a toll on my need for social acceptance and interaction?

Wow, I think Christina hit the nail right on the head with this one!  I have come to the realization that part of the reason my creative juices flow so well away from home is because I am fulfilling an innate need for belonging. Most of you that know me personally know that I function best around others and thrive in social settings. Who knew that this would affect my level of productivity so much? So I guess that means I will be spending many more hours in the local library, café or bookstore while working on the next level of my purpose!  Well this post is finished so I guess my café time for the day has come to an end. Until my next café moment…
