Is it any good? I took The Writer's Digest home correspondence course back in 1998. As for blogging interfering with writing time, it's important to set limits and stick to them. Otherwise, you'll never get that book or short story written. Most days, I'm pretty good at that. On the bad days, I forgive myself and shoot for improvement the next. I’ve heard of that course.

Sometimes I feel that my writing tailors iself somehow to suit the blog. But deep inside I feel that's the wrong way to go. Bottom line is I am writing. But at what cost? I took a course 5 years ago at WVU called "The Artist's Way" (by J. Cameron) During the course we were asked to stay away from the computer/Internet for a week. Sad to say it was a long week. Ultimately, I survived and I think my writing saw benefits from the abstinence. I think attention to the management of time (online, as well) is part of the answer. I am with you--no cold turkey for me... ~michaelm Deborah-
