Writing in the Age of Distraction

Cory Doctorow's article, found at http://www.locusmag.com/Features/2009/01/cory-doctorow-writing-in-age-of.html, is a pretty succinct, accurate look at the distractions that inhabit our electronic, plugged in, connected geographies. I can't help but agree with his take on it all. Instead of trying to make the world go away (increasingly more difficult with Twitter- that site's damn addictive!), his advice of dedicating yourself to twenty undisturbed minutes a day is pretty solid. We all can find twenty minutes, right? And twenty minutes of writing is just about as good as any twenty minutes you'll find in life...and I did say just about as good!

Here's to a great weekend filled with twenty minutes of bliss every day!
