It helps to be lonely when you write. You have all of that frustration and pain inside you and it fuels your imagination, it stirs up these deep longings inside you that bring the words and the pictures to mind.

Your mind has no contact with the day-to-day life, most of what gives you pleasure is in the mind. You have time to think, obsess, to ponder, to meditate. There are no obligations, no needs to fulfill in anybody else's life. You are there to write and nothing else.
