Hi, I'm Joseph Eastwood and I'm an Addict!


I've spent quite a bit of time telling you all why you should go on Facebook and Twitter etc. but what I haven't said is how it sucks you in and before you know it that 15 minute break has turned into an hour and then that hour has turned into two.



Well I'm here to say "Hi, my name is Joseph Eastwood and I am a social media addict" and if you've been a follower of my blog for some time then you might already know this.



HEY TO ALL YOU NEW GUYS! I'm so glad that guy could make it! And to anyone who is hovering over that "follow" button, all I can say is "you are missing out, my friend. SO PUSH THE BUTTON"



Now I feel like a drug pusher, I feel like I'm pushing social media onto you guys...telling you to follow my blog and "like" my Facebook page: Joseph's Writing.



"Yeah, so like it!" says crazy Joe, trying to get rid of the twitch in his neck and rubbing at his caffeinated eyes.



So yeah, Facebook, Twitter, Blogging and Tumblr have all played their part in my addiction. It was only a few weeks ago when I was talking to you guys about "Discipline and You" and posting pictures that told you to "get off the internet now", but before that I did stress the use of the internet in my post "10 Top Tips to Raising Your Writer Profile" ---I'm definitely sending you guys mixed signals, right?



Life is about balance, without balance we fall/collapse/crumble etc. it's just the same without support and reassurance we won't fully develop and grow. I'm just here to say --




THE INTERNET IS EATING US ALIVE. And we're letting it.



It's true. The internet has taken over me, I just can't keep away from it! I need someone to take the WiFi receiver out of my laptop. I am sure that there are more ways of weaning yourself off of the internet.



So this is a great way to introduce Writing Wednesday to you! Writing Wednesday is going to be about you! It's going to be about searching for inspiration and getting that time to write! Every Wednesday I will be posting about things that have inspired me during the week and also practical things that you can do!



My weekly schedule for March now looks like this:


Wednesday is about helping you.

Thursday is about my writing.

Friday is Greek Mythology Appreciation month post.



Now it's your time to speak up:

Are you addicting to the internet? Social media?

Do you like my idea of having a set post or do you enjoy the random post?


P.S If you do like the random posts then there's always Monday and Tuesday....and I'm not limited to just one post a day ya-know ;)



-Joseph
