I sit down to write…
but first do some online tasks.
It’s nearly bedtime!?
It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog entry and even longer since I’ve written a story of any length. My writing group vaguely remember me, but it’s been nearly a year since I have attended. It’s about time I write something.
So tonight I got home from work, had dinner and did a couple of chores, then sat down with the sole intention of writing. On my main PC, which was probably not a good idea.
When it booted I remembered that I needed to take care of the various settings in this new blog installation, so took care of that.
While I was at it, I did the same for my other sites. It would be silly not to while it’s fresh in my mind.
Then I took care of a few data housekeeping tasks. While waiting I checked Facebook and Google+, and then… Well, you get the idea.
I must remember that the actual process of writing does not need an Internet connection. Research and brainstorming can require it, but neither of those are actually writing.
I feel your pain…it’s SO easy to get sidetracked! When you get old like me, you too can forget what you were trying to remember while you were trying to remember what you forgot.
