I have turned off Google Alerts and don't Google my name or my pen names. I don't go on message boards. I don't read my book reviews.
For days on end, I avoid the Web, never logging in until about two or three, after I've written all morning. On a good week, I don't go online till after Wednesday, so four or five days might lapse without my checking e-mail.
People always think I get really good reviews, but I don't. That's why I don't go on the Internet much - because you can go down a dark hole looking at stuff. Once, I clicked on my name and freaked out. It's too bizarre, it's too weird, it's too unsettling.
I don't ever go on the Internet. I don't even know how it works.
My rule is never to look at anything on the Internet.
I try not to look at stories on the Internet because I don't want to psych myself out. I kinda half to stay off the Internet. I'm not thick-skinned enough. I get too sensitive. I don't want it to effect what I'm doing.
I try to stay off the Internet. Just because people hurt my feelings sometimes.
What a lot of people don't realise about me is that I have no idea what's going on in the media. I don't pay any attention to it, as I consider it mind pollution. The last time I touched a computer was in 2001, and my phone is too old to use the Internet. I just don't enter into it at all on any level.
I stay off the Internet.
I don't go online, I don't read reviews, I try not to look at anything on the Internet.
I try to stay away from all the blogs and messages boards.
The internet to me is kind of like a black hole, and I never really go on it.
I never go online. The Internet stuff is bonkers. You must not look at it.
I'm not even worried about the Internet; that ain't even my thing. I'm not even an Internet guy. You rarely even see me into that.
I try to stay away from the Internet.
I actually barely ever go on the Internet.
I stay away from the internet as much as I can. Except for pornography.
I find that I have to just kind of avoid the Internet as much as possible. And even more so, when I go and look at it, I remember why I should be avoiding it.
That said, in the two weeks before I leave for the Dark Days tour, I am going radio silent, which means I will be avoiding the Internet at all costs in order to revise, revise, revise. I will miss you. Tris says hi, though.
I'm a bit of a Luddite and I hate the internet.
Throw the computer away and don't look on the internet. That's the best thing to do.
