As a writer I found myself watching the news, movies and Yankee games for quite a good portion of the day. With a couple
of projects in the making, about five weeks ago I turned the set off. I was getting frustrated with the spin from every
news station and I decided I was going to put 100% of my attention toward my writing. When I'm not writing, I read constantly.
After the first few days I was sort of getting withdrawal symptoms, I felt I was going to miss something worthy, not be up on the
latest, however they subsided with each passing day. So it's been five weeks and to my surprise I have no urge to watch one bit.
I may at some point decide to watch a game since I have to rest from sitting up since my back surgery but I prefer reading for ideas
with which to write about.
Anyone else ever stop watching ? For what reasons ? Have you gone back ?
Just wondering.
