Lately I have been more tired and headachy, so am trying to come up with the best way to balance for me. I know I read a lot of blogs and love to comment on everyone's blog that I know, but realistically I can't do that all the time. At least I don't visit every site, I do use Google Reader to streamline. I'm also using TweetDeck for my Twitter and have to reevaluate people who I find interesting to follow but not as relevant to me and my writing.
Anyone say information overload?Yep, there is that. I love information don't get me wrong. Heck, I wouldn't have worked in libraries for many years if I didn't. Because libraries are about information. But there is just so much out there.
I do like reading about how the publishing industry is going and it helps with the collation of my column in Hearts Talk massively. So I need to balance time on blogs with the information gained from there to give RWAus members the best info out there.
But writing isn't the only aspect in my life - there's family, friends, study, and other assorted things that I am aware that I don't spend as much time on being so exhausted. And CFS doesn't help - that needs to be looked after too - that way things don't overwhelm me.
So if you see that I don't come around the blogs as much as I have been, sorry. But I'll try to visit in my alloted times :))
Be well everyone. Happy reading and writing!!

Oh I so know what you mean about time Eleni! It's very tricky to get the right balance isn't it! Time is the reason I quit my writer's group and focused on just a couple of CP's, it was much more manageable.
Hope you're able to streamline more effectively =)
I know this feeling so well - and I won't be offended if you don't drop by my blog that often as it isn't really writing related - We both know we keep up with each other and make sure we're okay - make sure you put some time in your day just for fun too! TC
Thanks Mel and CAM. I love dropping by your blogs but I just don't always comment. Well one step at a time. Had thunderstorms here today, so spent the day doing paperwork rather than be online. So good head start :))
Ditto what they said, Eleni! I know how you feel.
Hope the headaches get better. Take care of your health.
Thanks Mon. Been a frantic week so far still. But am setting my tasks and hopefully that will help :)
