→ Cory Doctorow, "Writing in the Age of Distraction"
“The single worst piece of writing advice I ever got was to stay away from the Internet because it would only waste my time and wouldn’t help my writing.”
Tips for writing in the “always plugged in” age:
- Short, regular work schedule
- Leave yourself a rough edge
- Don’t research
- Don’t be ceremonious
- Kill your word-processor
- Realtime communications tools are deadly
