Zitat des Tages von Heidi Julavits:
I won't deny that I have a far more productive writing life without the Internet, mostly because I rekindle my ability to concentrate on one thing for a period of longer than three minutes. My curiosity is channeled inward rather than Internet-ward.
I think female-female relationships interest me so much more because they're so encoded. There is kind of a psychic element that happens within groups of women.
I buy a lot of books I've found via the Internet, whose existences I'd otherwise never have known about.
During the summers, when I'm in Maine, I work at a desk that's located beyond all tendrilly wi-fi reaches. It takes me a few days to break the constant e-mail-checking habit, then I find I don't want to check my e-mail ever, and often don't for days.
I spend far too much time on eBay buying lamps and upholstery remnants.
A logic proof is: you get a starting point and an ending point, and you have to get there through all these different steps and tautologies. I approach novel writing that way. When I get to the end I have to go back and connect everything.
