i'd probably become a complete recluse. this way i get at least some company at work..
That's actually a big part of it, too: I feel like, when working from home, that I'm missing something, that I'm left out of the loop somehow. The success of my job is predicated entirely upon having as much information as possible, and you just can't get that from sitting at home.
And yes, if I were to work from home exclusively, I would become a recluse. It's one reason I know that if I do ever become a full-time writer, I would most likely continue to find a way to work (even if volunteering) outside the house. I sure as hell could never handle being a stay-at-home mom, not unless I created a routine that got me (and the kid) out of the house everyday, for several hours or more at a time, to interact with other people. Otherwise I end up just feeding on myself rather than getting new insight from outside -- and that, too, seems to make my writing particularly flat, as well, I've noticed.
