I am a writer publishing my own books from home. I also live in a rural resort setting and after the Sept. long weekend, almost everyone disappears. My husband commutes over an hour each day to the city and I work at home completely alone. While I love the writing, the social interaction doesn't even exist since all my friends also live in the city or elsewhere. But, I've decided to make lemonade out of the lemons I've been handed: I'm researching and writing a book about loneliness. When it is finished, I will post another comment perhaps with some workable ideas. All the best to you!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9672386.post-1151436899478553862006-06-27T12:34:00.000-07:002006-06-27T12:34:00.000-07:00I really related to your article. I also run an Internet business and have found myself becoming very lonely the past year. People think working from home is great, but I really miss the day to day interaction with people. My husband works outside the home and really does not understand how lonely it gets. I regret not getting into some sort of group to meet people when I decided to work from home. Well, it's never too late. Thanks for the great article!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9672386.post-1124849999502630812005-08-23T19:19:00.000-07:002005-08-23T19:19:00.000-07:00It's funny how we're all different when it comes to loneliness. I've worked from home for the past 2 years, I'm not married, but I see my close friends and family regularly, which means I LOVE the time I spend alone ... I'm an editor and writer (mainly books, not blogs), so working alone is the perfect setting for me. My loneliness comes in waves -- I can have a great few months and then think: 'Jeez, it's time to mingle!!'. Good luck to you and your wife -- I'm sure you're both very successful at what you do and it sounds like you have the ability to meet new people, which is great. Maybe you should ask all the Chamber of Commerce and biker group people around for a party! Ha! Take care... (Self-employed girl from Australia)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
