I really don't have much to talk about here to be honest with ya. I had a really interesting thought the other day though, and that is that considering the age that we are in - the information age - it's easy to understand why or how some people only have bursts of genius thoughts. Especially when it comes to writing.
That is one of the essential reasons why I am enjoying writing a blog: I can just splurt out a brilliant idea, and not have to worry about the length, form, format. Hell, I don't even have to worry about grammar here. I can use words like splurt. I do have to wonder though, about the effect of information overload on the authors of the future. The attention span of anyone born after 1989 is basically non existant, because let's be honest, there's just to much shit to do. I worry that this is the age of the end of great authors. Maybe not so much the end of great ideas, no, definitely not, but there will be no coherency to these ideas, and that is fucking scary.
