Timely statement for those who endure the holiday rush! I thrive on solitude
and completely agree with GGs' statement about "For every number of hours
spent with people, you need "X" number of hours alone".
Having an internet business is perfect for us reclusive types.

Where?! I'd love to read it.

 it depend more on temperament than anything else?>>

I think that it depends on temperament. I need lots of solitude or I cannot
do glasswork or transcriptions of piano music to classical guitar. This is
probably not true for all creative people.

always controlled the amount of contact.
