>The best writers are those who've spent a long time

I mean yeah, underatanding social conditions and human interaction is integral to any artform; since at its core Art is a representation of a person, and on a larger scale it represents the culture of a society.

As a writer myself, I think it is true. You need to spend some time alone to examine and understand the human heart, to examine how a human thinks and feels, using yourself as an example. At the same time, you need to be out in society because you have to be able to understand how humans act when we're together. You have to understand how a person becomes a people, and how the former influences the latter.
