How do you deal?<br>Life. Not the Internet so much, especially since I binned Facebook. And being distracted by life isn’t necessarily bad, because it feeds back into my writing. (Plus conversations with my partner on walks and in coffee shops can be incredibly fruitful.)<br>Just don’t mention Sudoku…<br><a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/writersofmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writersofmastodon</span></a></p>

My grandma was, and I did win a poetry contest back in high school, but these days I don't have the time to invest in the structure. (Do not talk to me about poems not needing structure. They do for me.)</p><p>Closest we get is a song I invented:</p><p>"I'm three days older than I was last night. Wondering if I put wrong what once went right.

Caron<p>Okay guys talk me down off the cliff - just discovered that many of my books are on Zlibrary and LibGen without my knowledge or permission. I know I'm late to the party, but I'm an old lady.
