Well, all famous (and not famous) writers were telecommuters. Very often they worked away from people surrounded by family-members only.

I agree and feel the same way. The social networking tools on the web will never replace face-to-face interaction. To combat the isolation I try hard to get out of the house and participate in social activities out side of work (biking with a neighbor, etc).

It is nice to know I am not he only person who feels isolated working from home. I have worked remotely for 8 years and at first it was great. But now I quickly get to the point where I have to get out of the house …. I try to work out of the house at a library or coffee shop at least once a week ..but even that is proving to not be enough since I don’t really talk to other people too much in those settings. Working from home is great if you are able to work part of the week face-to-face with your co-workers … otherwise as the years go by ..the isolation gets worse. I am trying hard to find acivities outside of work that get me out of the house and talking to people face-to-face ..it take time and effort but it is worth it.

You know, when I first started working at home I enjoyed being all alone. That didn’t last long (lol). I find now that connecting with people via Skype and over the phone makes a lot of difference. It takes out the impersonal nature of email, but at the same token I still have many people I’ve worked with and for over the last few years that I have never met, and have no idea what they look or sound like.
