Solitude

I was chatting with an old friend the other

day and he asked if my work was part of a

larger company or was it my own studio work.

I told him it was just me, I am American Homestead.

And sometimes, that can be lonely.

He kindly offered to chat on the phone with me

to relieve the loneliness.  He said if I had a cordless

phone with a headset we could chat and I could

still be working.  I laughed and said I'm not that

high tech, not only do I not have a headset ~ in my

studio I don't even have a phone!

Now this is on purpose, so I actually get work

done but truthfully it can get quite lonely.

I do bring my laptop into the studio and often

keep the facebook page open all day, then I can

check in every once in a while and see what is

going on with my friends.

Maybe for those of us who work alone, we need

to have lunch dates online or a virtual coffee break...

Does anyone else have this problem and what to

you do about it?
