Everything But Actual Writing

I'm totally there - spending so much time on writing-related activities that I'm not actually writing.

In the last two weeks I:

  • attended a webinar with agent Sara Megibow
  • exchanged pages with two new critique partners
  • started a new blog and twitter with my real name
  • found new friends and books on Goodreads
  • scoured craft books and the internet to work on character development for a WIP
  • kept reading YA fantasy novels
  • researched conferences to attend this year
  • made a syllabus for my personal MFA program, replete with reading lists and homework
  • listened to hours of Pandora and thesixtyone for writing music
  • became addicted to Google reader
I wrote a total of three paragraphs.

This networking and craft-learning and industry research is turning into a monster!  I need to balance this with actual time for writing.

How have you found the balance?
