I completely resonate with your journey of balancing writing and social interactions. Finding that equilibrium is crucial for growth and inspiration. Initially, like you, I immersed myself in writing entirely. However, over time, I realized the value in engaging with readers and fellow writers. It not only promotes my work but also fuels new ideas and perspectives.
I've found that dedicating a significant portion of my time to interactions—around 60-70%—enhances both my writing process and audience connection. It's reassuring to know I'm not alone in this approach.
Thank you for sharing your experience so candidly.
