I always feel so guilty because I don't get around often enough. I truly miss and care about my fellow writer friends and I sincerely want to know how they are doing...but man, it does suck the time away from writing and family...and, yanno, bathing once in a while. ;)<br /><br />Anywhoodles, my point is, I feel you. I post way less than you are proposing to do in your new, less-posting schedule...and I can tell you it is impossible to get around to everyone. I just hope and pray people forgive me and not think me rude. *sigh* <br /><br />I think it's also why I love twitter. I can hop on, check in, say hello to lots of people and then pop off. I can still feel connected in way less time. True, it's not in depth, it's quick 140 characters, but at least it's something.<br /><br />And, my good friends know to email me. And my closer friends know to text or call me if they want a speedy response.<br /><br />I wish you well with your new schedule. I wish you even better writing. YOU HAVE TO PROTECT YOUR SACRED WRITING TIME. And family time. Do so sans guilt. :)<br />Hugs,<br />LolaLola Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14394765053485642935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-31380111169384463182011-11-07T18:02:19.717-05:002011-11-07T18:02:19.717-05:00Good luck with the new schedule :)Good luck with the new schedule :)Heaven.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16482844063270026019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-55838636435139279762011-11-07T16:31:28.983-05:002011-11-07T16:31:28.983-05:00Michael Offutt wins comment of the week!
