That is exactly how I feel these days about my writing community. I am retired, I write in the comfort of my solitary home, I am a serious introvert, but I check in with my community several times a day, and I don’t have to do all the things that make me an introvert: process faces, hands, voices.
I love relating via the written word, on a page that is visually much like a good old fashioned book, but this Discourse book happens to be the most amazingly instrumented book – I also play musical instruments, and it’s that same kind of learning a thing, a hand motion, a twitch, and then having it disappear into the unthinking reflexes: I like that a lot. Like being able to hit the high B on my baroque recorder at full speed without risking a horrible squawk – but that took years of practice. And a lot of horrible squawks and even more dropped notes.
