"Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer’s loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day." Ernest Hemingway
As a writer, I like what Ernest Hemingway says - I guess this is primarily the reason, why writers generally exist at the edge, in the outlying, observing the world, interacting with humans, making a connection with the life that existed, exists and will continue to exist on this earth and yet being at the outskirts of the world and the humanity.
A writer can make his way through time and can make a connection with a life that existed in distant past, or he can live in the moment, sing the songs of the life around him, a writer, while he does that, tries incessantly, to capture that moment of eternity, that defines life and the very essence of it.
All great writers create words in that moment of eternity, but it is also a fact, that they all lead lonely lives.
