" When I got back online, the most surprising thing was how little I had missed. I had 370 e-mails but most of them didn't say anything....When the work's not going well is exactly the time to turn the Internet off. "

--Writer Stephen Elliott, in an article in Poets & Writers Magazine about spending a month offline and how little he missed (and how much, writing time and otherwise, he gained).
