When I first quit work to write full-time, I had a lot of people say to me that they couldn't work from home and would go crazy if they couldn't go to work every day and be around others. They thought that being home alone every day would be too much for them.
Fast forward to this Coronavirus situation and now everyone wishes they worked from home because many of them can't go to work or have to stay home and self-isolate.
It's this that I find the easiest to cope with. As a writer, I find it easy to stay home. Sometimes I don't talk to other people for days. When I'm working in a window of inspiration, which can last for days at a time, I barely even talk to my husband. I have a separate office at home and I can sit in here for hours and lose track of time. Sometimes I only know it's night time when I look up and see that it's dark outside.
And to be honest, even when I'm not writing, I'm quite the shut-in anyway. I don't socialise much, I avoid get-togethers, I cringe when I'm invited to a 'party', I stay away from large gatherings as much as I can and I discourage people from visiting me at home or phoning me unless it's important.
So this situation of being advised to stay at home as much as possible poses little to no change in my day-to-day way of life.
In fact, if I did have to do self-imposed isolation, I'd happily use the time to write more and earn more and I doubt that anything would feel different.
So while more and more people are currently wishing they worked from home, I'm already doing it.
