Laurie Anderson posted a Really Good Idea a couple weeks ago:
We had NaNoWriMo in November. December and January have been filled with revisions for many of us, and by many of us, I mean ME. And many of us want to finish up the current project so we can get hopping on the next one. So...........Count me IN. I'm actually between revisions, having shipped off a shiny new draft of OTMA to Madame Editor the morning I left for Boston. If I behave myself during BFF, I might get a decent start on something new before OTMA returns to haunt me...
Let's make February a blog-free month.
(I heard that gasp. Breathe slowly. Into a paper bag. With your head between your knees.)
Do not panic. February is short! We could call it the new BFF: Blog-Free February.
If you do this, you'll be at the cutting edge of the next digital trend: the Slow Media Movement. Give everyone a heads-up that you're stepping away from blogging for a couple of weeks. If you are truly bold (or desperate) make February an Internet-free month, not just blog-free. On March 1st, write a blog (or a letter) evaluating any differences in your productivity during February.
