I'm able to focus all my energy into getting meeting that deadline. I think the less often blog schedule helps too. For me less blogging= more writing.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861022355718378425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111268153034999272.post-41926592640764793352010-04-22T10:51:54.016-07:002010-04-22T10:51:54.016-07:00Readerly Person- I'm reading 100 books this y...Readerly Person- I'm reading 100 books this year and I love walking in parks. Yay!<br /><br />Rick- That's what I'm afraid of. <br /><br />Matt- I was considering giving my ether cord to my husband. But we just got a wireless airport yesterday. Oops.<br /><br />Anita- Thanks! I really needed that reminder!<br /><br />L.T.- I needed this break to breathe. Of course, it's really only a couple days, but I'm hoping it will help. <br /><br />Bane- I'd like to string that person up when I find him.<br /><br />J.J.- I think I might have to start handwriting. Having a computer is just too big a temptation to do other stuff. Although it is handy when writing some historical fact I need to double check.Stephanie Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437077559099315853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111268153034999272.post-22733932781560682692010-04-22T09:54:00.884-07:002010-04-22T09:54:00.884-07:00I think the best way is unplugging the internet to...I think the best way is unplugging the internet totally.

If I were still trying to post every day, it's almost guaranteed I'd have posts full of excuses (which I still kind of do) and nothing to show for it. I don't want my readers to lose faith in me and my credibility, so I made the decision to cut back. <br /><br />I'll take time off when I need it, though, but not to write. I can write other times, and while blogging takes up some time I could be using to do that, I'm still as productive as I want to/ can be.L. T.

Because in the end that's why we're all blogging. We want to be writers, right?Anita Saxenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12444339735834716979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111268153034999272.post-89708628106108837712010-04-22T05:27:13.832-07:002010-04-22T05:27:13.832-07:00Yeah, I'm like Rick.

Along with reading more books and walking through parks and playing with dogs.Rebecca Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05175882543452643650noreply@blogger.com
