Je pense que the removal of oneself to a monastery and focusing purely on learning and literature, is actually a good and noble thing. The older I get, the more I envy the Medieval Moines and wish I could retire to some monastery like them.
BUT I do love people, and would miss my favourite bakeries, my favourite drink, and my lady (who inspires me and is such a source of joy for me) so that I find renouncing the world a painful idea. And I appreciate the creative energy and inspiration others provide, especially the Scottish mythologie I'm building up right now.
You don't have to be a hermit to be a writer.
Great article! It’s wonderful how we each have our own unique experiences, which allows us to create our own unique art.
