I've semi-successfully weaned myself off email and I'm now on about half as many loops as I was a year ago.<BR/><BR/>For a while now I've been working with two computers--one that's online and one that's not. I use the off-line computer for writing and when I'm writing, the other computer is turned off.<BR/><BR/>But no matter how much I try to discipline myself, I still check email first thing in the morning. And an hour later . . . sigh.<BR/><BR/>I truly admire those who write their daily page quota before they go online!Lee McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388019900085158731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-1131720007581801392005-11-11T08:40:00.000-06:002005-11-11T08:40:00.000-06:00Yeah, for e-mail!Yeah, for e-mail!Theresa Raganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815320170046221853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-1131654932758103622005-11-10T14:35:00.000-06:002005-11-10T14:35:00.000-06:00Oh, Terry, you've hit a nail on the head!

Love email and its instantaneity (is that a word??), but talk about a time-sucker. <BR/><BR/>And what a dangerous little thing too...it's so easy to lop off a note to someone without really reading it through, or responding to a post or email without checking it for snarkiness. That's why this is one of my favorite quotes:<BR/><BR/>"The computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any other invention in human history--with the possible exception of handguns and tequila." --M. Radcliffe <BR/><BR/>I like email for its ease and lightning speed...but there's still something to be said for handwritten notes, like those Jane Austen ladies had to suffice with. I've been trying to make a point of writing handwritten notes regularly, just because I think they are more special than a courier-fonted email.<BR/><BR/>And Terry, you should definitely keep writing notes by hand...you have the most beautiful handwriting I have ever seen! (Thank you for the card!)<BR/><BR/>ColleenColleen Gleasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650958015205097847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-1131654405196427922005-11-10T14:26:00.000-06:002005-11-10T14:26:00.000-06:00LOL!

Oh my, how things have changed. Now we've got two computers and a wireless network. :)Trish Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812010789617982102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-1131643547967106502005-11-10T11:25:00.000-06:002005-11-10T11:25:00.000-06:00Terry, this is too true.

I, along with a friend, subscribe to some writers boards, and just today we emailed each other a nearly identical response, at nearly the same time, to one of the messages that came through. Our emails crossed cyber paths. <BR/><BR/>I love email (and blogs), but you nailed it. They are so addicting.Charity Tahmasebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208740898666710699noreply@blogger.com
