Technology free week - time for an attitude adjustment!

The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.

------ Albert Einstein                      

There are some days you just want to stop and smell the roses.  Walk away from the screen time and breath fresh air, ponder life, think, read, write and meander without the temptation of technology staring us in the face.  Periodically we have a technology week - no wii, no nintendo ds, no internet, no television.  Usually I end up doing it because the technology has taken over and becomes more important than everything else and we need an attitude adjustment. 

So while we are off, I will be concentrating on writing and hopefully make better progress with my current WIP Eyes in the Ashes. It is time to write some in-depth character profiles and interview my characters  so we may become better acquainted.  James has also been working on a story and has been procrastinating as well, so this will give him  time to finish it.  He is working on a fan fiction type of story about Mario Super Galaxy.  When it is done, he'll be posting a chapter a week on his own blog.   Father will be working on his electronic projects plus we are setting up a blog for him to talk about tubes, tone, technology, recording and whatever else he feels like ranting about.  So we will be brainstorming and writing up a few ideas for him to post about.

While I am off, please check out these writers who have much wisdom to share:
