Checking In
I should have thousands of words to show for my silence, but I don't. Merely a few hundred words in the past week and tidbits of semi-weird semi-familiar information about life in the Roman Republic. Would you like a lamp in your house shaped like a sandalled foot?
On the other hand I: have almost finished a scarf, done a third of my Christmas shopping, went for a drive in the country today and am eagerly anticipating writing my bit for the group novel!

I don't think that taking time off the intenet necessarily means you have to write (although that would be nice of course). But - as Claire also mentions - you take time for things you didn't before. And that can help your writing process along far better than staring at a blank screen (or reading all the posts on the Forum or Facebook *g*)
I went out on Saturday night (to a show I was not that keen to see) and ding! got an idea for a scene (that has been spurred on my a rather strange poem I read today...)
So, take time for yourself and don't get eaten by the writing/word count pressure :)
