Bloggers type themselves to death…

hawaii.jpgAs I head off for a week’s vacation, I’ll keep this story in mind. Every blogger should. As much as I love this medium and the freedom that it brings, it’s not worth dying over. I would say more about the topic of bloggers working 24/7, but then I would be working too much. There is a slight flaw in some of the logic here. After all, I knew many journalists at mainstream newspaper and TV outlets who also had heart attacks. Bloggers aren’t the only ones who are so driven, though perhaps the pressures of the medium can take them to greater extremes.
