meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	This week I entered my subscription to about 10(?) writing-related ezines, and went to every single link on each and every one of them, and pretty much read every single word on all of the above. Plus I went to sites where I'm considering submitting my work, and read every last word there too. A few months ago it was spyware, and I signed up for all these uber-techie forums, and read every single post and article. At least I understand all the writing stuff, which is more than I can say for the 7-page "how to fix your computer registry" tomes. It's like I'm starved for information but I really hope I don't get any new "favorite" topics. There's way too much to learn in this lifetime.

meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	When I went through my spyware/malware stage, I ran 4 different programs daily to see what evils lurked in my computer. Even my techie friends thought I might have gone overboard. Now I'm down to running them once a week, which seems a little more sane. As for the writing zines, one of my goals for February was to submit my work to a variety of publications. In order to decide which ones they would be, I wanted to read all of them, their submission policies etc. so I found the best match. As for the how-to sites, I've already discovered that at least half of the info repeats weekly. Knowledge is so important to me, and by extension, research. I'm like that in all areas of my life.
