Difference between

I am one of the kinds of writers who would, and does, sit in their mind in their own imaginary work space and watches the world pass by, just taking it in and then letting their creative mind take it to work it's magical powers that have passed down from the story tellers of ancient times unto the writers of less ancient times when we went from words around the nights fire and painting on walls, to coal and parchment to quill and paper then to the pen and thus the keyboard. I sit by and watch you live your busy life and sip my coffee and watch as dozens of stories fly by in attempt to catch my attention so it will be put on paper and shared with the world. Not just you, you there reading this, not just you. But instead all of God's creation, the weather, sets scene, the atmosphere set's the mood, the body's motions tell the character's story and then it begins. You sit there reading the blog of an aspiring writer, sip your coffee and return to the words, feeding the eye's that which they desire. At the table, under a hanging light in a café, alone but not. No, you are telling your own story and it fits a certain way into the world of a writer, you live and work for pleasure, you enjoy your life of living on a research station orbiting an uncharted world and studying you're notes from your resent tests conducted on the plant life that inhabits a small volcanic island below your station. You sip your favorite beverage from your home world 9078.53 light years from where you are in this universe now. You look through the observation screen and see the world below you and stare in awe at the majesty.

There are a great many miles between your world and mine my friend, the bridge that connects them is fragile and weak.
Although I am somewhat an introvert, I come out of my sanctuary to observe the society that inhabits this existence to pick ideas from it.
Don't worry for the reclusive introvert writer, simply continue to exist in this story, learn to look at life differently, and carry on.

To see the world as a writer would, in my opinion, simply be that you see every alternate story all at once and pick what interests you the most. To see every story from start to finish in a heartbeat.

I'm a simple writer, and you, you're a character in a story, waiting to be told.
