Hi Jeanne!
I agree! We lost power for two days last winter, and I didn't know what to do with myself! I was as bad as my children with no Xbox and dead iPod batteries!

Hi Robin!
Thanks!

Hi Robyn!
It's a scary schedule, isn't it? I'm happy to say I've cut my obsessive Amazon/M&B/Harlequin checking back quite a bit. It was necessary if I wanted any hope of getting any writing done!

Thanks for stopping by everyone!

Hi Amber!
Sorry the day job puts a crimp in your Internet whor...activities. But we all need to eat!

Hi Sheila!
I have taken to clicking off the power chord for my Internet router in extreme instances of addiction. It works. (Because I have to get out of my chair to turn it back on.)

Hi Alyson!
Setting small, achievable goals is key! I am a list maker and take great joy in crossing things off my To Do list.

Hi Mona!
I must admit, I'd never let my online time interfere with my reading time. I LOVE to read and it is upsetting I don't have enough time to do it since I've started writing.

Hi Diane!
You need a sense of humor to get by in life - at least in my opinion. I enjoy finding the humor in situations - even those others may not find funny!

Hi Patricia!
Am I to understand your cat is the one with the Internet addiction? Someone who read my book said they stayed up way too late because they couldn't put it down. As far as I'm concerned, that's the greatest compliment you can give an author!

Thank you for stopping by, everyone!

You're in good company!

Hi Mildred!
I am the Queen of Procrastination Land! The cure that works for me: Deadline.

Hi Michele!
Very thorough! I enjoy being with people, too. But I still LOVE the Internet! Good luck with the job! You certainly seem friendly enough to have lots of friends...so go out and get em'. I'm glad you liked my excerpt! And tweeting me up would be fabulous. RT me @WendySMarcus.

Hi Jennifer!
Cutting back is hard. Baby steps. You can do it! (Hopefully better than I have!!!)

Thanks for stopping by, everyone!

Hi Conne!
Umbilical cord attached to the computer = a bad visual! And yet so true!

Hi Julie!
Oh, boy. Don't get me started on games on the computer. I had a Spider Solitaire addiction that impacted my ability to get anything done. It was a little scary.

Thanks for the congrats, Nas! I'm thrilled.

Hi Kimberly!
We are Internet sisters seperated at birth!

Hi Ju!
I've tried to write for a set number of hours, but can't seem to do it. What works is I've been doing 1k in 1hr challenges on Twitter. I've never made it to 1k - because I can't help editing as I go - but it really gets me writing!

Hi Leanna, Amber, and Wilma!
Good luck in the contest!

Thank you for stopping by to visit me, everyone!!!

Hi Saski and Patti!
Glad you liked it!

Hi Na S!
I agree, I prefer a good book (paperback or Kindle edition) to almost anything else.

Hi Lynn and Pam!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Dawn and Richard!
Exactly what did we do before the Internet? Are you old enough to remember World Book Encyclopedias and wall mounted phones?

Hi Shirley!
I rationalize by call Internet time "reseach" and "social networking" - both of which are necessary for authors to be successful!

Hi Peggy!
Yikes! 886 emails? I can't even imagine! My e-mail is my second most potent addiction.

Thanks for stopping by everyone!! And may I share here that I just found out RT Book Reviews gave my debut Harlequin Medical Romance, When One Night Isn't Enough, 4 stars!!! I'm thrilled!!!

Re: Love Me If You Dare (10:11am February 14, 2011):

Hi Carly!
My husband made me a delicious stuffed shrimp dinner last night, in celebration of Valentine's Day. It was wonderful, but made me think of a friend whose divorce was recently finalized. So after dinner I popped her an e-mail asking her to be my Valentine. She really appreciated it, and said another friend sent her flowers.
