Ed has filled his up himself so I've moved on with my stacks to the kitchen!<br /><br />Second - yes, I could spend hours on the net so I also try to limit my voyaging to evening hours.<br /><br />EileenEileen Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03147679493619958932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-6221794426626559232009-08-27T06:59:53.753-04:002009-08-27T06:59:53.753-04:00JL and Robin - Scarlett O'Haras - the both of ...JL and Robin - Scarlett O'Haras - the both of you!Meg Wiviotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16178051434999444739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-46366254453676157042009-08-26T18:42:44.075-04:002009-08-26T18:42:44.075-04:00I try to "starve" myself on the weekends...I try to "starve" myself on the weekends, but it's hard. <br /><br />I always feel a bit cranky when I've found out I've spent a few hours "surfing"- hard to get back to serious work. There are so many really cool sites for writers though. I try and limit myself, but again...I agree with you Janice!

This morning I found tons of well documented information about the folktales I'm working on.<br /><br />But you could spend a whole morning networking from one writing website to another. Fun, but not often very productive. I check three blogs every day and usually that's it. <br /><br />Unless I get buried in a writing hole and need diversion.Gale Sypher Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316827256622168039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-83738039561476014172009-08-25T19:31:11.869-04:002009-08-25T19:31:11.869-04:00Julia - Oreos??

Just to prove what a Luddite I am-how can you tell I've got a mac?<br />JA - Limiting the morning access is not difficult, it's the subsequent "snacking" that becomes a problem.<br />Corey - there are advantages to having kids at home who need your time.<br />MG - I'm disappointed I haven't gotten to your site!

Doesn't always work (like now!) but I need to do something to control this addiction! I'm glad it's working for you.

But as soon as I hit first draft brain freeze after plowing through to word count goals, I give in to my addiction.J.A.

I am one of those people who starts in one spot and ends up several sites later with a ton of information that I don't necessarily need right at that moment! <br />I decided I need a break, too!<br />I see that like me, you have a mac. I am planning on installing "Freedom" - which is a program for macs that allows you to turn off internet access for specified lengths of time. I think with your diet analogy that would be like not buying a bag of Oreos and expecting to eat only one at a time. It keeps the Oreos out of the house, period!<br />It will be interesting to see how we do with this.<br />Cheers!Juliahttp://juliakarr.comnoreply@blogger.com
