Just Bru

The entry is dated september 12th, but I read it just today. So William Gibson decided to stop blogging and go back to writing.
Well, besides the obvious we-will-miss-you-and-hope-you-get-back-soon stuff, his last entry made me think (!).

W. Gibson

"I’ve found blogging to be a low-impact activity, mildly narcotic and mostly quite convivial, but the thing I’ve most enjoyed about it is how it never fails to underline the fact that if I’m doing this I’m definitely not writing a novel – that is, if I’m still blogging, I’m definitely still on vacation. I’ve always known, somehow, that it would get in the way of writing fiction, and that I wouldn’t want to be trying to do both at once. The image that comes most readily to mind is that of a kettle failing to boil because the lid’s been left off."

He's got a point.
