Pulling the Plug

"Writing is physical work. It's sweaty work. You just can't will yourself to become a good writer. You really have to work at it."
--Will Haygood


I'm going dark. Well, for a week. I'm participating in unplugged week and when I mean unplugged, I just mean unplugged from the internet. If I unplug my lappy, I won't get any work done. ;) Sadly, this means I will not be blogging or visiting your lovely blogs. I'll miss you. But I am resigned. The WIP(s) need some attention. They were starting to think about inviting some other Muse to amuse them and I can't have that.

See you all next week!

Good luck!

I wish I had the courage to follow you instead of moping in front of my computer screen because I'm going to miss you so dang much!

elena said...

Good job, and happy writing!

Mim said...

Good luck! I need to do something similar. I hope you get a lot done!

Rebecca said...

Good luck on your WIP! I would do the same except that I get updates on Facebook for different things, and people know to reach me by email is easiest.

Plus, I pay bills online!

I have been cutting back on my overall time on here. I really should do it more so I can work on my own WIP.

I will miss you, but I completely understand. Enjoy your break!

I don't get it. What do you mean, "no internet"? People say that all the time and it's like they're saying, "I've decided to go a week without oxygen. I just got way too dependent on it and I didn't like the idea of encouraging an addiction."

Oh well! Good luck! Say hello to your WIP for me!

Elizabeth Mueller said...

Hi Laura! Oooh, sounds nice... I think I should do that same thing...
I'll miss you!

((hugs))

Abby Annis said...

Enjoy your time away! I hope you get a lot done. :)

Heidi said...

Mais non! Not another muse! Things are getting serious. Unplug forthwith!

Elana Johnson said...

Have a great week!

Laura said...

So like, if I leave a comment, you won't get it?

Ha ha ha....

At first I was going to say that "Pulling the Plug" was just sick, but now that I know you are in survivalist mode writing like a crazy woman, we're good. Very good.

Becca said...

Just on the internet, right? Then, good for you. Enjoy the silence...

Danyelle said...

Have a happy and productive week!

Kathi Oram Peterson said...

I understand! Have a great time.:)

Mary Gray said...

Good for you, LT. Happy writing!!

Jackee said...

Have a great unplug week! We'll miss you! (And if you change your mind, I have an interview on Weds you might want to check out. Just sayin'.)

:)

Really? It's like, an official unplugged week? I thought it was just Jon being crazy but ... I could use an unplugged week.

Enjoy!

Krista said...

I admire that. It's like a super power. Who is that masked wonder laughing in the face of Google and thwarting the temptations of blog posts everywhere?
*cue super music*
It's Unplugged LT!

Enjoy.

Brilliant idea to unplug for a week.

Best of luck with the WIP's.

Kim said...

Good luck with your unplugged week. I know you won't see this until you're done. I just wanted to drop a note and say it was nice to meet you at the Valor launch. I hope I get to know you better soon.

Eowyn said...

I'm fully aware that your unplugged week is almost over, but I hope it was a good one. You're awesome!

Joanne said...

Hope you got some amazing writing done while unplugged! Clicked over from Jackee's, enjoyed browsing here, Happy Spring!

warmchocmilk said...

Good for you! Let us know how it all works out and if you make a lot of progress with your writing :)

Debbie / Cranberry Fries said...

That's gotta feel good every now and again!

Billy Coffey said...

I really, really admire you doing this. One of these days I'll have to do the same.
