I loved this saying, courtesy of Cyrus Farivar:
“Being a good writer is 3% talent, 97% not being distracted by the Internet.”
Ha. During my time off I’ve tried to do lots of reading and catch up on some writing projects, but it’s amazing how quickly the temptation to check my RSS feeds can sneak up on me. I’m just glad I finished college before the debut of YouTube, RSS and Second Life!
Could not agree more. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in the middle of an email or blog post and gone over to the tab where I have my RSS feeds. It’s like a drug.
