I spend a lot of time in front of the screen, but at least I read a lot of good political blogs and then I read creative blogs. I like to spend half an hour reading a news website like BBC or the Guardian. But BLOGS are pretty much the only thing worth reading these days online.

I'm not wasting my time on Facebook or myspace. I only spend at least 10 minutes on both websites, checking e-mails, but that's it.

I'm so embarrassed. I'm not even going to tally my face-to-screen time for fear of dropping to my knees and weeping uncontrollably.

I, um, think I'm going out for a walk. Back later.

I'm trying to add it up, but I likely spend ten hours a day in front of my computer screen, easily.

I have my laptap close even when I'm watching TV.

Perhaps it's different for writers, I don't know.

I've read ON WRITING close to fifty times, and I reread it at least once a year ... one of the best books are writing stories there is.

I'm going to follow Jeff's lead and not attempt a tally. Too much is my best guess. I like to think my screen time is of a higher quality than folks I know who go into withdrawal if they miss an episode of Dancing with the Stars, but I know I don't spend as much time working as I should.

About 12 hours a day for me on a workday -- I work at DirecTV Sports, and all I do is read news, blogs and scripts all day while watching games before I go home and write for a couple of hours.

At least, that's what the classic pattern is -- I just moved, and the process has slowed down a bit. I completely understand King's "foreign" comment.

The average is at last 12-15, or almost every single waking hour. If I am not asleep, I am in front of my computer, or I am at work, where I am standing in front of a wall of approximately 30 flat-screen TVs trying to sell someone on dynamic contrast ratio -- 8 hours of that today. I got no writing done. I blame that one the neurotic female customer who needed to ask me every question I didn't know the answer to about a laptop were had on sale -- 45 minutes...it was actually physically painful, and so mentally taxing that the rest of my day was spent in a stupor. She now will have the unfortunate gift of becoming immortalized as an all-too-real character in a screenplay I'm kind of maybe writing. So really, the moral to this story is not to work at Walmart. Stick to standing/sitting in front of your own computer screen, instead of someone else's. It'll probably make your feet hurt less, and you might just get something done.

It is quite depressing. 12 hours a day on a weekday. 8 hours a day monday thru friday at work. then 4 hours a night at least watching TV or writing...wow...that isn't even considering my iPhone...time to seek help...

Not even going to tally.. I sit in front of a computer at work all day, then I go home and do the same thing. I sadly get withdrawals when I'm away. Especially long weekends out of town, upon returning I will have a billion movies and shows I need to catch up on. I'm sure if i keep it up i'll need glasses in 5 years.
