Timesucks

Ack.  I can't believe I haven't posted since Wednesday.  I blame Facebook.  And my Dashboard blogroll Reading List thingie. 

I've been a lot more active on Facebook lately.  I see now what all the buzz has been about - and I also see why I avoided it for so long.  It's a huge timesuck.  But now I'm hooked, so I'll just go with it.  It's too late for me.  Save yourselves. 

Either that or friend me so we can be addicts together.  ;o)

As for my Blogger Dashboard Reading List, it's made checking on everyone's blogs so much easier.  I just scroll down the list, clicking and reading.  If I see a new blog I like, I just clickity-click and add it.  I'm reading all over the place and I'm lovin' it.  And I'm also spending way too much time now.  Before - when I was still in the stoneages and scrolling through my favorites one by one - I would spend the morning reading blogs and if someone updated their blog in the afternoon, it would have to wait.  Now I can see it as soon as it posts! 

Huge timesuck.

On the upside, I have been getting some writing done. (Mainly due to saying on FB I'm going to write and then needing to keep my word - so FB isn't a total waste).  I hope to have this sucker finished over the weekend.  (Yes, even with the Super Bowl looming Sunday afternoon.)  I'm working on the BIG CLIMAX scene now.  So it shouldn't be too much longer before I'm done.  Keep your fingers crossed that I don't get derailed.

What are the huge timesucks in your life?  How's your writing coming along?  Are you ready for some football?  ;o)

  1. Lmao, I have one word for you: Twitter. If it wasn't so much fun, I'd quit.

  2. Oh my god, I only post like twice a week usually, three times if I'm on a roll. So, no worries :) And yay on finishing your book soon!
