Unplugged
I make my living on writing books, so it's funny how much time has been spent not writing. I plan to get back to my roots this weekend and really dig in and get some writing done. That means I'll be unplugging myself from the internet. Probably not completely, because I don't know if I could survive a full 72 hours without tweeting about something.
But I won't be answering emails, checking my Facebook, or blogging. I will be avoiding the internet as much as possible. Starting today, at 5 pm central time, I will be off those things until Monday. I will instead be writing a lot and relaxing a little. And not worrying about anything else.
Everything else can wait until Monday.

You're totally right and I feel like I need some time like that myself! Great idea! :)
I'm not sure what it says about me that it sounds both terrifying and liberating. I'm completely tethered to the Internet by my iPhone, and I find myself Tweeting at times I shouldn't be. I look forward to the end of the semester so that I won't have papers to grade and lessons to prep so that I can go back on marathon sessions of writing. Stealing time for it isn't nearly as exciting.
Good luck on your binge!
As addicted as I am to my computer/ipad/phone, that sounds like the perfect weekend... Enjoy :)
Hi Amanda--I'm a fan of your novels. You deserve the time to write your wonderful books. Your persistance and talent has been rewarded. Best Wishes, Pam
Amanda, I am 40 and a huge fan!!!! I can not tell you how much I have enjoyed reading your books ! Thank you for sharing your work it's wonderful ! I look forward to more!
Sounds like a heavenly few days - hope you made it!
Off topic (hope your writing went well and Eric's birthday celebrations were fab) but for the record my take on your decision to go legacy is that it's exactly the right thing to do.You've thought about it, your reasoning is sound. Good luck for the future.
Just wanted to add my compliments to the author! I downloaded my first A.H. book (My Blood Approves)earlier this year, and I've been an addict ever since. You are a very talented and your recongition is very much deserved! Kudos to you! Please keep them coming!
