Without the Internet - Look at my eye twiching!

Well, you heard it. I had 3 days without the internet and boy was that an experience. I wouldn't say I'd addicted to it - but I WOULD say that I RELY on it a lot. Everything came to a screeching halt while I waited for the switch from one provider to another. I couldn't chat with anyone, and considering that I'm a WAHM and the only real contact I get is with other women is online then you can tell I was running up my phone bill *wink Elbie*. I can't wait to see hubby fall over at the bill...well, actually I can...

Secondly, since I'd just finished an MS and readying it for submission I kinda need the interent to figure out who to send it to and such.

Thirdly, I needed it to do research for my paranormal I'm doing for NCPs Harmony line...So without it I was a bit stuck so I worked on my historical. At least I know enough about the regency not to need the internet...mostly.

Now, without the internet, and KNOWING I don't have it, I noticed I habitually check my email and my fave sites. And everytime I loaded up I would hope of all hopes that it'd work. Well, it didn't. I'm not techy at all so I had to wait for hubby to load it all up - but once it was one I checked out RD and there were 11 - read it guys - 11!!! unread PAGES. I was blown away to say the least.

Anyway, I'm back up again and excited about it. Now off to do some research

I believe all writers would flip their lids if they had to go without their internet service for a few days or so...especially those who write historical fiction, those writing anything that requires a great deal of research.

Who wants to have to get up, drive down to the library, and read through the encyclopedias when we have Wikipedia on the net? :)

I can go without sex much longer than I can my internet service.

I'm not sure I could go without Internet. I do it every once in awhile when I go to Whidbey for a few days. But, ouch, is it hard!

Hey I figured out how to update my 'books' part of my page.(after many, many attempts! LOL) You'll have to tell me how to add an 'excerpt' though.

I still love your cover!

I think I'd go into withdrawal if I didn't have my net!

No net? You poor thing!

I'd go crazy not speaking to Faith every day!

Unthinkable!

Glad you're up and running again!
