(Josephing Damien has a series of posts on this topic on her blog. It's practically a campaign, and she's really correct about it.)writtenwyrddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02280711822302493122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37083420.post-51162536572706168932009-07-10T13:38:58.335-07:002009-07-10T13:38:58.335-07:00Hmmm... a very interesting point of view indeed.Hmmm... a very interesting point of view indeed.Barlinniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555629852012324360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37083420.post-77146331743039899932009-07-10T07:48:06.783-07:002009-07-10T07:48:06.783-07:00i so agree... it sucks up a lot of the time i shou...i so agree... it sucks up a lot of the time i should have spent on the tales crying for completion....laughingwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873675614347328116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37083420.post-6564106729382548742009-07-07T11:18:06.938-07:002009-07-07T11:18:06.938-07:00And this is why I take a week long break once a mo...And this is why I take a week long break once a month, and why I've cut my blogging WAYYY down lately. It really is about moderation. I don't believe in stopping cold turkey, or stopping at all, because I've learned so much through blogging. I'm always stuck at home. This is often my only source of social networking and learning.<br /><br />Great post! I do get addicted, I must admit. :)Michelle D.

I have my home office set up so looking out the window is not as simple as looking up from my desk. You just don't know how many sentences have leaped out that window!<br /><br />Bravo on equating alcohol and the internet. Who knew? <br /><br />For aspiring writers, the Internet is a source of valuable information, in which we can drown if we're not careful. It's all about balance. We (I) need to balance the time we spend on the Internet with the time we spend living and writing. Internet time should always, always be the least amount of time.<br /><br />Great post.<br /><br />ScottScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905515473737579937noreply@blogger.com
