being addicted to Absolute Write? I allow myself to get so distracted from BICHOK sometimes because I don't want to miss a single post that might be interesting! I've actually walked away from my office holding my laptop waiting to see someone's response to a post. It's worse than biting my nails off waiting for an agent's email. And when I'm not hitting refresh on a certain thread, I'm hitting New Post to see what else is going on. Weird, huh?

OK - there's my confession. I feel better now.

1. Have a cup of coffee (not decaf)
2. Have a drink (nothing blended)
3. Check your e-mail (for rejection and empty spam)
4. Write a chapter (yeah, we're supposed to write here)
5. Have another drink (shot)
6. Call your mother (to talk - not names asshat)
7. Walk around block (at least think about it)
8. Prepare a "flounce" speech (then hit delete)
9. Prepare a PM to RT asking for a self ban (then hit delete)
10. Have a mixed drink (top shelf)
11. Search yahoo news to start a fight in P & CE (you've given up staying away)
12. Have another drink & log in - you know there is no hope :D

1. Have a cup of coffee (not decaf) check
2. Have a drink (nothing blended) *pours iced tea*
3. Check your e-mail (for rejection and empty spam) check
4. Write a chapter (yeah, we're supposed to write here) *sighs* Oh, all right
5. Have another drink (shot) *heh heh - pours bourbon and saves for later*
6. Call your mother (to talk - not names asshat) umm ...
7. Walk around block (at least think about it) You mean like ... exercise?
8. Prepare a "flounce" speech (then hit delete) But flouncing means I want to go away.
9. Prepare a PM to RT asking for a self ban (then hit delete) OK, I probably should, but I need to exercise self-control, right?
10. Have a mixed drink (top shelf) *mixes Bombay martini, slides into fridge*
11. Search yahoo news to start a fight in P & CE (you've given up staying away) *Hillary's secret love affair with alien half-breed looks tempting*
12. Have another drink & log in - you know there is no hope :D*since by now it's cocktail hour, I toss back my shot, slurp my martini, and open a cabernet*


OK - got it.

We've had several requests for a twelve-step group to be formed. Think about it, though. It's like asking the folks at the bar if they know about a good AA group in town....

Don't know, don't want to know. Addicted and proud of it. :tongue

I wish I was only getting distracted from BICHOK. I manage to keep myself distracted from both that and the day job. I have the AW screen shrunk down to the smallest size possible and hidden in a corner of my monitor. Stupid day job. :Hammer:

Um, isn't an online support group for internet addicts a little counterproductive?

Popping in to announce that today I'm *hands shaking* not going to post *pours iced tea per Step 2 from Auntybug*, google crazy LOL animals for SF's fort *checks medicine cabinet for valium*, or *gulps* l-l-lurk.

I'm going to write a chapter. :e2BIC:
