Obvious, I enjoy your posts - and will 'follow' back.

I know I often have to sit down and tell myself that the next half hour or however long I intend to write (sometimes until I hit a certain amount of words) is precisely for writing only. I've found that certain programs like Write or Die can really help me strap down and write without getting distracted, even by Twitter. :DAva Jaehttp://avajae.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-57805396190165632272012-04-10T15:12:47.896-07:002012-04-10T15:12:47.896-07:00Thank you, Dave!

I absolutely love the benefits social media offers us--from support groups to inspiration or much-needed relaxation (or on the other hand, motivation)--but it's definitely important to keep a good balance between social media use and things of more important writerly nature.Ava Jaehttp://avajae.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-58227017480854133872012-04-10T15:12:05.811-07:002012-04-10T15:12:05.811-07:00You're very welcome, Andi.

To avoid the time suck, I schedule time to write when I know I won't have internet access, or I'm just good about telling myself "This hour is for writing only. You can tweet later when Bill (husband) has the TV on." You should probably repost this once a month!

I am also known to check Twitter just because - which leads to me staying up all night getting my work and chores done lol.Victoria Heckstallhttp://twitter.com/funmom91noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-86346902767571617052012-04-09T10:28:19.603-07:002012-04-09T10:28:19.603-07:00I just joined Twitter and -OH MAN- is this me.

Ha ha, just kidding, but I think it's something we all need to remind ourselves of every once in a while, particularly when we're procrastinating a certain something and checking Twitter as an excuse (which--psh--never happens or anything...)

Between scheduling tweets and checking in just long enough to reply to mentions and RTs, it's more than manageable.
