Different strategies work for different people, but dang, I don’t relate at all when people actually find lots of social interaction helpful in terms of motivation!
I’ve had people tell me it helps so much to have other people engaged in their work and rooting for them to finish so they can read the new chapters hot off the presses. I’ve had people tell me how helpful it is to be around other writers to keep them excited about working on their project. I’ve had people tell me that social interaction infuses them with they energy to get through the long stretches of solitary creating, and that connecting with others is a breath of fresh air.
And I’m the exact opposite.
I’ll participate in a social writing activity if I’m truly going to learn something (or, you know, help somebody else!), but I really like being all by myself, butt in chair, working on the WIP, no interruptions.
We’re all different! That’s for sure!
