I had to go to the library to check my mail!

I cheat a little and check e-mails and some blogs but I don't write anything and plenty of the time I just check to see what's going on but I don't comment. It saves me a ton of time and I find I'm very productive.<br /><br />Also, during Unplug week, I make a point to get more done around the house and spend special time with my family. The extra time is a blessing in so many ways and I want to include all my priorities, not just writing. Have a great day!Cindy R.

I think moderation is the key.<br /><br />I'm happy to report that Book 2 (still untitled) has 13,000+ words. I wrote almost 10,000 words last week. Whether I can maintain that pace or not, I'm determined to write every day except Sunday.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.
