Hi, Party Plan Pat!

I found your site, believe it or not, through an Google image search on the Red Queen's statement about running.

And I found your comment:

"You see people believe that the internet is free. Yes, the internet is free, but only if your time is worthless!"

I'm writing a novel. Much of my research has been online - it was a necessary investment of time, but I've probably done enough. Yet I still get bogged down, verifying small details as I encounter them, rather than keeping focused on the big picture.

I read your comment, and it hit me like a ton of bricks.

I have been treating my time as worthless.

Well, darn it all! I'm better than that - and so are all your clients and readers.

You have given me one of the most concise and insightful one-liners on the value of the Internet. Free information is good, information is worth something - but too much free information becomes worthless. And that is why I think you are offering something of value.

"Yes, the internet is free, but only if your time is worthless!"

I'm printing that out and taping it inside my laptop lid.
These are words to live by.
