This wasn't intentional a decade ago when I got the laptop; I just couldn't get it to connect. (This was back before we had wifi and things that made connection easier) I finally forgot about it and then came to appreciate the silence of it.

I agree with you about Facebook. Twi...Thanks, Kaye. I agree with you about Facebook. Twitter reaches a larger audience but life is, indeed, the real distraction. Your Wriitng Utopia sounds similar to my She Shed--quiet with a distance from the action.

My writing area is half of my recently remodeled basement. Before the remodel, I called it my "Writing Hovel". It has since upgraded to my "Writing Utopia", because the change was so dramatically wonderful. *grin* The area is roughly 12' x 24'. I typically do my Internet 'business' before noon, and then again in the evening. I check my email and social media on my phone when I have a few minutes away from my computer. If there's anything I need to respond to or post, I take care of it when I'm back at my computer. I'm not drawn to social media, so I don't have trouble spending too much time there. In fact, I have to have a reason to go to Facebook, such as post on my timeline occasionally, to give FB more than a cursory glance. <br /><br />My biggest distraction is life in general. Help this person. Run that errand. Stay with the grandkids (well...that's fun). And so forth.<br /><br />You're right, though, about a chair being a great writing tool. *wink*Kaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.com
