I'm very deep in writing, trying to get another chapter finished this week, but this Vanity Fair article about the bestseller "The Art of Fielding" is very much worth reading while I line-edit arguments about cognitive archaeology and our entanglement with technology.

I have to wonder, given my recent experience with "real" writing taking up the time and processor cycles I was spending blogging, how much blogging is the enemy of book-writing. I think they serve very different kinds of purposes: for me, blogging is like note-taking, or the work you do on very early drafts, while writing articles and chapters requires a kind of deep concentration that is neither necessary when blogging, not (maybe) possible to sustain when posting the latest YouTube video you've found.
