Thirty days on track
I have become addicted (and I don't use that word lightly) to political coverage. I'm not only reading news and blogs about the U.S. Presidential campaign, but the idiotic comments by partisan supporters of one candidate or another. Just because this addiction of perfectly legal doesn't make it any less destructive. I'm throwing hours and hours of good working time down a rat hole of obsession.
So for the next thirty days, starting with tomorrow, I will post at the end of each day the following data:
1. What time I started writing. The earlier the better.
2. What time I first checked e-mail. The later the better.
3. What time I first looked at news, market reports, blogs, or any other web site unrelated to research for my novel or my MFA teaching. The later the better.
4. How many hours I spent writing (to include hours spent pacing and pulling my hair).
I have got to stop paying so much attention to the U.S. elections!
