I gave up Facebook. Well, for two months anyway. I've been wanting to deactivate my account for about six months now, but I just couldn't tear myself away.
I finally realized I'm not getting any younger, and my novels aren't writing themselves. I had to make more time for my writing, and what's my biggest time waster (probably most peoples' biggest time waster)? Facebook. So I deleted my account at 9:30 this morning and I don't plan on reactivating until July 7th. (No, that wasn't a tear).
I have big plans for the next two months. Huge. I plan on writing my entire first draft of my novel and....well, that's it so far. But that's big!
No more excuses.
I won't even blame the new foster baby that came into our home a month ago for me not getting any writing done. Nope.
I will write.
Hopefully every day.
I’m a fun-loving foster and adoptive mom juggling a teenager, a tween, and a toddler, all while navigating the wild world of homeschooling. I recently took the plunge and moved to a new state without ever setting foot there—talk about an adventure! This is my real-life story, filled with chaos and joy. My mission? To swap out traditional products and pharmaceuticals for healthier, natural options for my family. Oh, and I really miss writing, so I'm excited to weave that back into my life!

The absolute worst part about being a writer for me is grammar and punctuation. With every post I put up, every email I send and every story...

I went to #30 school for first grade. Every morning I walked by myself down Otis Street to the school. There were always a bunch of kids out...

I will come back to cheer you on as you write your novel. I am a writer too with one book published, and FB can help you meet some great people in the publishing world :)
I just deleted my facebook account as well.
Good luck with writing :)
I am your new follower.
OMG--you are a brave, brave woman. Congratulations on having the strength to rip yourself away from the biggest time waster on the planet. When I think about how much I could get done if I wasn't compelled to be checking in on life beyond my desk on facebook...I probably could have been done with my novel as well.
Boo facebook. I wish I could pull that plug too.
Thank you Terra, I appreciate the cheers:)
Thanks for following, Helen! And good for you for deleting your account:)
