Yes, I keep going. I have to know what's going on! But are we gossipers, or are we writers? As I make more efficient my real life, I plan to make more time for writing practice, not less; not for Facebook, nor the endless sharing of links that some people's lives have reduced to. Note to peeps who fill Facebook with links to other stuff: I ignore almost all of it.
Why am I writing this note? Moment's distraction. So much to write, no time to do it, but at least now I feel like I wrote something even though I really didn't. Till next time ... !

that's cool, i don't read your links either! (snark) me? i'm a music person and i love to share it.
I link to my writing because with more fans and followers I could possibly write like a real writer but I don’t have a simple hook like that “Julie and Julia” chick and share real life like Jen Lancaster and Diablo Cody who both had writing gigs fall on them because of the internets and I’ve been told my writing is a good as Lancaster’s at least and then I won’t have to stay a corporate marketing whore forever.
Never heard of those people.
I'm more motivated to write if I think someone (who is reasonably objective about whatever I say says about me) will read it.
Now and then I see a blog that qualifies in my mind as literature and I get all asperationy. Not often -- and I haven't saved the links to any.
Sometimes I do appreciate a Facebook sharing. Sometimes I do my own. I'm just sort of down on the idea of sharing links being the raison d'être. I like folks who have something to say and do so.
You know what it is really, I have creativity bursting out in about half a dozen different forms and always have, and have never aligned my life in order to give myself the chance to go do it; and writing has a way of covering all of them, potentially. Designing a mechanical contrivance does nothing for my love of arranging music, for example, or vice versa, but I can always write about both.
In theory.
I smell what you're stepping in.
I'm not literature by any stretch. But I'm a good...read ;)
Brother, now you know why I have avoided Facebook. It's a bloody waste of time. The name alone is an oxymoron that flies in the face of real human interaction.
eh, FB fills a need. It's reconnected me to folks I would like to stay in touch with, but not in a phone call frequency way. It's like peripheral vision. I don't HAVE to look, but I get enough of the gist anyway.
