It does take discipline. But the idea that you're isolated is a misconception. At least in my work as a freelance writer, I have to interact with other people, not only story subjects (interviews and so on) but also the routine contacts like postal workers, office supply clerks, and the like. There's probably just as much interaction, maybe more, as at an office, and at least in my case, probably fewer distractions at home where there's no office gossip, people using the microwave outside your door, a record store right around the corner, coffee houses just down the street, pointless meetings, and so on.
