1. Going out and having fun will give me something to write about.
2. Tweeting involves writing and self-publishing, and therefore counts as writing.
3. Google+ing involves writing and self-publishing, and therefore counts as writing.
4. Leaving comments on blogs involves writing and self-publishing, and therefore counts as writing.
5. All authors must read, therefore reading tweets, google+ posts, and blogs count as reading and are making me a better writer.
6. I’m not surfing the net, I’m researching.
7. I’m not hanging out with friends, I’m doing character studies.
8. I’m not napping, I’m brainstorming.
9. My muse is on vacation.
10. I’m not socializing online, I’m networking.

LOL, too funny. I have used a couple of those on occasion.
ReplyDeleteSame goes for feet up on the couch watching a movie -- research. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is sad, though, when my comment and Twitter writing exceeds my WIP word count for the day.
Networking and researching are high up on my list of reasons for not getting as much writing done as I could. :)
ReplyDeleteActually, sometimes moving AWAY from the screen and letting your brain focus on something different for a while can end up rather productive, as opposed to sitting in front of the keyboard, cursing, for two hours.
ReplyDeleteAnd you missed by favorite time eater-upper, reading, er, RESEARCHING. After all, I have to learn from the brilliance of others, right?
thanks for those excellent rationalizations!
ReplyDeletei cant work on my editing until i see what is happening in the writing world!
It worked! I no longer feel guilty...
