I believe many professional writers, artists, even musicians exhibit similar traits - they live in their own self-created worlds, stories, imaginary inner lives - often to the detriment of their social lives in "real" life.
Some are extroverted, some are introverted, but most are solitary brooders and counter-intuitively, exhibitionists at the same time.

> You need to get back to the solitude that you knew as a child. They see the world with eyes unclouded. They live in their own world, a world of pure authenticity.
