Re: Do you like to be alone when you write?
Sometimes I welcome the opinions of others staring over my shoulder. Sometimes I could go in one of several directions with a scenario and just need a nudge in a direction.

As for environment: anywhere I have access to some sort of writing utensil. Stick me up a tree with my phone. I'll figure it out.

There's a thin line of course, as with any live-in relationship -- we are "together" but we also don't impinge on each other. It works out most of the time, which is all anyone could expect. When my gf sees me deep into the keyboard and frowning to myself, maybe grumbling, she knows I'm writing and not just surfing around like now, and to "stay away" ha ha. Likewise when she's intense on one of her projects, I know that it's best to cut her some slack.
So... I'm not generally alone in a physical sense when I'm writing but I "wall off" distractions pretty well. Hey, working in a big newsroom, you learn to focus.
