Writing is by its nature a solitary process. You have to take yourself off somewhere so that you know you won't be disturbed. Even switch off your phone. You have to create a space of emptiness for the creativity to start to come in. And creative energy does not flow when your head is full of day to day concerns and distractions.
As well as being solitary, it's very intimate. That might sound weird, but being alone with yourself for an extended time can be confronting. Then accessing your creative energy means going within, or in-to-me. I'm not talking about a head full of thoughts, I'm talking about no thoughts, and from that void new things start to appear.
