These are my responses to yesterday’s
post, A Day in the Life of a Writer. You’ll want to open two windows for this
and place them side by side. Just click on the link above. I’ve already set it
to open in another window for you.
Facebook is
a complete distraction and more often than not, creativity’s enemy.
Fresh air is
good, even necessary. However, it doesn’t write your words.
Eat to live.
Live to eat. Write to buy the food.
Chore
schedule and daily maintenance – works like a charm!
Social
networking is one of your business tasks. It does not meet the requirements for
socializing in the real world.
Yes, read.
By all means, READ. Just not when you’re supposed to be writing!
I suppose
writing is hard work, but only if you’re actually doing it.
Until next
time, I wish you every good thing.
Happy
writing everybody,
M. J.

I thought it was ironic but I started to read more since I decided I would write more.
ReplyDeleteThe two go hand in hand, but one can't replace the other, Al. Thanks for stopping by and chatting today:)
DeleteI really enjoyed this post a lot. I am so happy that I met you and discovered your blog. Thank you for stopping by and following my blog, I am very thankful. I look forward to reading even more of your posts.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to meet you too! These blog hops are a lot of fun! Good posts, nice conversation, and best of all - we get to meet some of the neatest people! Have a great weekend! :)
DeleteEnjoyed this post, and I agree....have a good day!
ReplyDeleteHappy to read that, Sandy:) Best of the weekend to you!
Deletefb is more of a chore for me... i like blogging better, more informative! but i o get some news & noteworthies from fb too. balance is key!
ReplyDeleteYes, balance is so important, Tara. I agree. Facebook is ...facebook. I enjoy looking at family pics and stuff, since most of my family lives in other states.
DeleteWhy is it that after going a long while without reading, once I start writing again the procrastinator in me insists on doing as much reading as possible? LOL.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Thanks for coming by my blog.
You must pick really good books, the kind you can't put down! That's not procrastination...that's great writing! :)
DeleteI felt the same way about FB which is why I deleted my personal page and kept only my Magical Mystical Mimi fan page. FB is so time consuming but I think only because one comment leads to somebody elses comment and then somebody elses page and before you know it you're on Billy Bob's second cousin's mama's brother page and you have no idea how you got there or why! Lol..
ReplyDeleteI don't have a fan page on Facebook - only personal...helps to keep in touch with family scattered all over the place. It's about the only way I'll get to see my nieces (who are mom's now) brag about their kids. Some of those pics are to die for! Cutest little ones I've ever seen! It's been a great way to keep in touch with distant family, since I'm the only one who lives in Arizona.
