1.  I already read a lot of print media. 

    2.  I already find innumerable ways to try to avoid writing.

    3.  I often don't have much to say, or add, to the general conversation about the process and trials and

tribs of the writing life. 

    4.  I'm a fan of Carl Hiasson, who says he doesn't tweet or blog or Facebook because he'd rather be writing. 

True, he's a Big Name so he doesn't have to.  But how did he get to be a Name?  Not be tweeting, blogging and friending.
