Cat Tales: Miscellany and Mischief

January 10 (30DBC)

30DBC January 10 Prompt: What's your favorite way of passing the time when your internet connection is interrupted for an extended period of time, especially when you had a lot you planned on taking care of online? Or, if you prefer- real talk- how addicted to the internet are you?

I'm pretty addicted. I start getting antsy if I haven't been on in a while. Though when I'm really in the throes of drafting/outlining, I can go pretty much all day without getting on. I've been trying to limit my internet time to only certain times of the day, but since I wake up with my phone right next to me...I can't say I don't sneak a peek through WDC or Facebook in the morning when I'm trying to wake my brain up.

In the past, during power outages and such, I've colored in coloring books, played board games, and written with colorful gel pens by candlelight. It can be a great way to get back to basics and really play with tactile creativity. And to be honest, sometimes I really don't mind--it means I don't have to freelance that day and it keeps me from getting sucked into a time-wasting trap.
