William Gibson on Blogging

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the stuff-to-read dept.

The Ape With No Name writes "With Pattern Recognition now out, Gibson talks to the Guardian about blogging, which ones he's looking at and why he may have to quit blogging himself. He's quoted as saying '...if I'm ever going to write another book, I'm going to have to quit doing my blog as I have a hunch it interferes with the ecology of being a novelist.'"

    I've got a friend with a degree in ... you guessed it ... Philosophy. They way he explained it to me is "I don't have a job. But I can explain you why at great lenght."

    I guess it makes sense...

    the ecology of being a novelist

    Does that mean the process of being a novelist involves eating your way up the food-chain until you either die or are excreted back to the bottom? :^)
