sanity break

This is what my desktop is going to look like for a few days.

Nothing on it but ERIN ETERNAL. Even all the little lights are off! (Okay, it's actually really hard to see that in the little picture.) Mail, Chrome, iTunes, Adium, Tweetie, XJournal, Skype... The only lights on (which means applications are on) are Finder (the light won't turn off, durnit), Scrivener, and Grab -- because I needed Grab on to get the screenshot. :)

Also, yes there are two chapter 14s. I've been inserting and deleting chapters as I write, and I finally got tired of renumbering the entire list every time. :P In the text for the ones I haven't written, they're titled "Chapter Meh." It only took me three books to figure out things weren't going to go as I planned.



(Desktop photo is here if you want it.)

I've decided I need a short sanity break. Too much internet. Not enough just buckling down to work. Perhaps not enough sanity, either. Checking the internet is not as important as getting words. (Checking once a day is enough. Checking five times an hour? Ummm....)

So for the next few days, I'm planning on not being around much. No blogs, no Twitter, no IM... I will check email, so if you need me, please do email. (And I seriously doubt I'll be able to catch up on various social media when I come back, so if something awesome happens, email!)

Nothing's wrong, and nothing brought this on. It's just time for a break to get the internet back into perspective. (It will not stop if I don't look at every interesting blog post/read my Twitter feed/refresh email every other minute.)

In the meantime, please consider this an open thread to chat with one another and talk about silly things.

See you in a few days!
