Writers Unplug From Net

Writers are finding they need to get away from the distractions of the Internet--especially all the MySpacing, the Facebooking, the Twittering--just to get some fracking work done.

Because if you don't unplug from the Internet, you could end up like this.

So writers are making like Henry David Thoreau (who, I suspect, would have taken a pretty dim view of the Internet in general and online social networks in particular) and seeking solitude--time that's uninterrupted by "tweeting," chatting and updating statuses--to do actual substantive writing. What a concept.

I won't say, "I told you so" (even though I could).
