I find myself constantly drifting online. Twitter is one culprit, and to be fair it takes hours a day to retweet all the fellow authors who have retweeted my books. I really ought to disconnect the broadband. I've even been known to use the excuse of doing research for my writing (though sometimes it's true). Well, what can you do when the unit on which you write is also the source of all procrastination. It was so much easier in the days of type writers, though those tedious rewrites typing it all out again with two fingers were a pain.<br /><br />Thank you for providing me with yet another excuse to avoid my current difficult bit in my new book!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342499561325097166.post-52822465353182592222012-07-19T19:23:35.062-05:002012-07-19T19:23:35.062-05:00As it is minus 5 here this morning, Rosie, I wish ...As it is minus 5 here this morning, Rosie, I wish I could join you.Jill Patersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09921446638056608681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342499561325097166.post-44415154176170917112012-07-19T16:36:35.175-05:002012-07-19T16:36:35.175-05:00Have a serious beach problem here and a temperatur...Have a serious beach problem here and a temperature that is +100 most days...
