But, since we can;t spend all of our time here and not writing and it is sooooo addictive...I set a timer. I read as many blogs as I can in that time, then I drag myself on over to word and start writing!Elizabeth Seckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045076826326574984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115704751652270450.post-25400571560509012812012-10-07T01:21:26.823-04:002012-10-07T01:21:26.823-04:00Me too.

I get so distracted every single day by the blogosphere that I don't get any of my writing done. It's the truth but the fact remains is you writers are so supportive of each other, it's hard not to stare at the computer screen for hours and only get 100 words written. Yes, I've gone through this before...long before I was in the blogosphere. I wrote memoirs and sure, I could never get anything written because I didn't have the encouragement from all of you and now I do, now I do and hopefully, I'll get back to writing my memoirs!<br /><br />Despite I have a life outside the computer screen, yes I do swim in circles all day long wondering what will happen to my writing future. I just wish I could time travel to my future!<br /><br />Great post IWSG post! I'm a member of IWSG so I'm here for ya, Elizabeth!
