Bette Davis didn't have this problem
Aug. 18th, 2007 08:18 pmY'know, most of the time I think Robin Hobb is bit of a crackpot with her somewhat luddite stance regarding the internet and writers:

but then something happens like today, where I sit down to take a brief break from writing, and end up spending an hour on Youtube because I found some new and cool thing and got distracted.
Today's distraction: Speed Painting.
This one's my favorite. Fricken' Mascara, man!

Uh. Back to work. I'm pretty sure I have a character's life to screw over. That's easily as fun as speed painting, right?
(for the record, I love Robin's work, I just think she's a little too on the "what's bad for me is bad for everyone else" side of the fence).

Now online RPs on the other hand... Those are DANGEROUS. ;) I find myself participating in those more than writing most f the time. It's that instant gratification thing. >.<
I'm so not that way about any blogs, tho.
