Two things I meant to blog today:
I whole-heartedly concur with Lindsayism's David's Law. This goes doubly for quarter-celebs you don't care about in any way shape or form.
This is a really interesting point, especially pertinent for a fiction writer and blogger, from Ayelet Waldman (pronounced: I-yell-it), whose existence I just learned of today (via maudnewton.com):
Ayelet: "Because one of the things that you do as a fiction writer is you sort of take the experiences of…I think the major thing you do is you take the experiences of your life and your memories and you kind of wait for them to gel into something and transform into something that you then write about in a very different way. And when you have this new medium of the web, there’s no gel time — it’s just all liquid. It just all comes out right away. And I was taking all these things, these moments and thoughts and experiences, and just putting them right out there. And once they’re out there, once they’re expressed, they’re gone — I think. I think, for a writer, once you’ve put something down, it sort of both freezes it and expresses it, and you lose it from yourself."
