I love working alone. While I also enjoy traveling and meeting people, I'm more introverted than extroverted. Working alone (in the company of several hundred fictional characters, of course) is heavenly.
I also LOVE the feeling of being so submerged in writing that I lose track of time. Social scientists call this state of being "flow." Here's a great article about it: http://www.ted.com/talks/mihaly_csiks...
