I think we get plenty of that advice and we "get it" by now. What we need is balance, like you mentioned, Gabriela.Marsha A.

Networking and using social media is very helpful, but you're right it can become overwhelming and, more often than not, turn into a procrastination tool. The key here is balance. Whoever finds that, please let me know where, ok? ;)Gabriela Lessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265214314915980398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400387561406667550.post-64126067393368293162011-04-05T12:32:32.553-04:002011-04-05T12:32:32.553-04:00What a terrific post!

I'm always on the 'treadmill' as you put it, always thinking of what to do next, or what I should be doing and it's exhausting. I'm going to make a conscious effort from now on to disconnect and remember to live a little and not always be thinking about work.SweetMarie83https://www.blogger.com/profile/12518239232924662332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400387561406667550.post-65527457121013278742011-04-05T11:34:30.160-04:002011-04-05T11:34:30.160-04:00Spot-on.

That only fragments my creative thought. I feel sorry for younger generations of writers who most likely never have organized thoughts on paper.<br /><br />@Rosie--all of our connections are a huge temptation.Marsha A.

When I do, I get better writing done, but sometimes it's hard to let go.<br /><br />Hmm, maybe you're trying to tell me something. Maybe I should disconnect right....<br /><br />Rosie<br /><a href="http://eastforgreeneyes.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">East for Green Eyes</a>RosieChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911305246379355484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400387561406667550.post-5904189864735415762011-04-05T09:28:30.832-04:002011-04-05T09:28:30.832-04:00You're so right, Marsha.

I keep trying to figure out how to get from one scene to another and I'm adding a lot of dreck that doesn't move the story forward. I think I'll just end that chapter and start another, but first I need to turn of all the social networking. I wish I could go to the beach and sit and work. I find myself constantly checking email and FB to see what's new. Great tip.

I've had to take several days here and there destressing from the social media buzz. I'm hoping to completely shut down in May and finish book 2. I'll keep a couple of posts out there, but I have to get back to what is important---the writing. :)Rachel Firasekhttp://www.rachelfirasek.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400387561406667550.post-13498502058953989632011-04-05T01:30:17.709-04:002011-04-05T01:30:17.709-04:00Great blog!
