Tricia, I think I use that threat every day. I don’t even listen to me anymore. So sad.

BR, Maybe you need to solicit pieces from a bunch of writer types so you don’t have to do it all by yourself… just a thought.

Hi, Lea! I’ve decided to treat my foolishness like it’s part of my charm. Let me know how that works when I comment on your blog. ;-)

Believe me, you don’t want to read the nano novel. It’s the wonderful mess I knew it would be, but after I clean it all up and make it pretty… Cross your fingers!

Hi Judy! I’d just like to say that I believe I am gold medal material when it comes to wasting time. If only it were an Olympic sport… but then, would it be in the winter or summer games? These are the questions that swirl in my head, causing me to spend more time than I’d planned, reading blogs and composing comments that don’t betray my own foolishness. (Dang! I pretty much blew it on that last count.)

Love the post — congrats on finishing Nano! How do I read what you wrote? Fill me in! :)

I’m really tempted to start that blog, but I’m afraid I’d recycle or reuse material. Or simply run out.

What do you think?

And also, I love dancing. I’ve downloaded a bunch of trance music recently. (Thank you iTunes for hosting podcasts, and thank you StumbleUpon for sending me to the Trance Tuesday Podcast page.)

It’s official, I waste more time online than on Word writing, and I don’t even Twitter. I’ve had days where I didn’t write at all, but logged many online hours. It never works the other way around. I keep threatening to have a blackout day where I only go on Word, but it’s still in the threat stage.

BR, Dance party! We used to do that all the time when the boys were a little younger. Dance until you can’t stand up anymore. Really hard to be sad when your dancing like that.

You should totally start a “Sexy You” blog. I would visit daily. Multiple times. Help me. ;-)

YES. That would be fabulous. Start on that, for real. I love shopping, and I love Sex & The City. It’s wonderful. I recently discovered something else to waste my time with.

DANCING. But it’s not really wasting time. It’s exercise! It’s fun! It’s friend-friendly! It’s great! Aaaand, it makes me feel sexy. Which is important.

I think I want to start a blog dedicated to making people feel sexy.

Oh, just noticed… I actually typed that comment late last night and actually forgot to hit ‘submit’. Can you imagine that? …
So that was why I said I’m just staring at the monitor with a blank mind :P

Estrella, Well, I do THAT when I am working (stare at the monitor and decide what I’m going to type next). I think that’s part of my job description!

B.R. I need to make enough money to hire you to be my personal shopper because I HATE the part you like… the shopping part. (But I would like to watch Sex And The City with you. I’ve only seen it maybe twice. Watching it with you would be fun.)

I watch Sex & The City to waste time usually. Other times I try to call someone and have them help distract me. I must admit though, I’m a compulsive email checker. Every ten or so minutes when I’m at my computer, I check my email.

A big part, though, of being a poet, is that I waste time introverting and double checking, second guessing myself.

And the single greatest waste of time: Online catalog shopping. Hi, my name is Bunny, and I have an online catalog shopping problem! I find myself browsing through, even when I don’t have money for… well, anything.

I just posted last week about something similar. Like Terre said, I could easily call myself a time waster from time to time and I couldn’t really make a list of what I wasted my time with.
(Okay, right now I’m tired and staring at the monitor to figure out what I’ll type in next… doesn’t work…)
Oh, maybe that’s what I do :P

Hugs!
