Dear Robin,
I like your books. I respect you, and the long road you've travelled, as a writer.
Please stop projecting your issues into my career.
Thank you.
-------------------
In short, Robin (also known as Megan Lindholm, a very fine writer) is ranting onine about how Livejournal, and blogging in general, kills writing production.
Maybe for her. Maybe for you. Not for me.
(For me, LJ is my coffee break, my social hour, my connection into a community that amuses, entertains, educates and occasionally infuriates me. In other words, it feeds my brain, the very thing I need to write. Reruns of CSI, and the eternal siren call of the nap are far more deadly to my productivity than an LJ-run)
Mileage varies, and assuming Your Experience is the professional boiling point for all writers is pretty egotistical(which is why all the best career advice to writers can pretty much boil down to 'this is what I found, find what works for you.').
