(And a new puppy!--let us know if and when you get one). <br /><br />I've been editing and revising like a crazy woman and now I wish I would have enjoyed the weekend a bit more.

People should probably pick their most compatible friends, and focus on giving and getting support from them, assuming they need some support. <br /><br />I don't have any tight ties anymore because I got so burnt out and disgusted by stress, so I just float around and jump in sometimes. Though I would love to socialize more, I really have very little energy left for socializing in whatever format--including in real life.<br /><br />I think Scott is correct. A writer doesn't have to be writing all the time to be a writer; she's got to live too. I've always said a writer must have lived a life to be able to write about life. If life becomes only about writing, then writing's the only thing left to write about. (Been there, done that.) <br /><br />Maybe pamper yourself some more because your post sounds like you've been due for some me-time. Don't worry about your writing--it'll still be there waiting for you!<br /><br />How wonderful about the puppy :oD!mshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05189632590362435386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656595739502076040.post-62352624803487917992009-05-31T11:25:04.550-04:002009-05-31T11:25:04.550-04:00I feel bad for my book too.

The one thing I like to remind myself is that I know I'm thinking about my book all the time, and I know that I'm internalizing stuff in a way that I couldn't do sitting in front of the computer. Perhaps you are too?<br /><br />I do need to go on a poet walk though....<br /><br />Yes, you need to join me and B.J. in the unplugged week. :)Michelle D.

I learned long ago, that, sometimes, I need to totally step away from my writing. I've done the whole not write a darn thing weekend. I've caught up on reading, watched movies, napped, and dreamed about margaritas. Okay, I didn't dream about margaritas, but I had to throw that in.<br /><br />Life is about balance, and we do the best we can. We write when we write, and we suffer angst, frustration, and all sorts of other craziness when we don't. The point is - we can't write 24/7. Yeah, it'd be nice. It wouldn't be realistic either. I mean, seriously, how are you going to write effectively about a couch potato if you don't live the experience once in a while? How am I going to write about margarita drinking friends if I don't do the same thing once in a while.<br /><br />Enjoy your moments of leisure, because they are far too few in this life!<br /><br />SScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905515473737579937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656595739502076040.post-3051662156593224472009-05-31T08:19:20.285-04:002009-05-31T08:19:20.285-04:00Even being unplugged won't help.

A few of my other blogging buddies and I have started doing Unplug Week, where we take the entire week off beginning with the third Monday of every month. <br /><br />This means no blogging, facebooking, twittering, or anything else that keeps you from writing. You can check out the details on the right-hand side of my blog. If we get enough people to take that third week off of every month, there won't be a bunch of blog posts that you'd be missing. Anyway, just thought I'd mention it!B.J. Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10767654810069240472noreply@blogger.com
