Sad to say, it offers too much of a temptation for me. With a few clicks on the keyboard, I can discover endless sources of research for my WIP, catch up with my friends on their fantastic blogs, find great writing advice, not to mention all the social networking on Facebook and Twitter, and I don't even have to get out of my chair.
Pretty pathetic.
I must resist this temptation that makes me confuse work and play, if I want to finish my manuscript.
I'm sure you've all noticed a slowing down of posts and hope you all understand that I need to take some time to focus on my work.
I wish I were strong enough to go cold turkey, but I'm not. I'd miss you all too much and need a little diversion, every once in awhile. I'll post something on a weekly basis and more if I can, but I have this mental goal of finishing the revisions on my manuscript before the NESCBWI conference next month, and need to get this done.
I'll stop by and visit your blogs when I can and visit you on Facebook. Please don't be insulted if you don't hear from me regularly.
I'll be much better when I can say I'm done.
Thanks for your patience.

Totally understandable. I'm the same, with me, it's MSN that is my downfall... I sign in and then just stop whatever I'm doing or don't start what I should be doing. =/
Good luck finishing your manuscript. :]
i second that - off to surf...i mean write.
You so NEVER have to apologize for putting your writing first. Stop by only as much as you need and get that revision done!
I get this.
I totally get this.
You owe none of us a thing. We just appreciate your presence, when you can make room for us.
Of course you know I had to stop by and thank all of you for your support.
Lanna-Lovely, Shelli, Becky and Beth - You all rock! Thank you!
(BTW, it really is hard to stay off!)
Totally get this! Have some nice, focused time.
Yes, Vivian. Go.
I very regularly fade away. It is just too consuming otherwise...
You'll always be welcomed back :)
Good for you, Vivian. Totally understandable! :-)
I'm in the same boat as you. Need to stay focused on my priority...which is to make my novel the best it can be.
I've noticed your absence but your impressive revisions are the results of your renewed focus.
Stick with it, Vivian!
I totally understand. I get sucked in, too. It's always difficult to find balance. Good luck with the revisions!
Go forth! We'll be here when you get back.
Go, go, GO! Get the revisions done! That's the most important part. We're rooting for you!
I promised I wouldn't surf today, but here I am, wandering onto your blog. Thanks for the reminder! It's back to work for me!
