Do we need to disconnect from the Internet to write or get inspired? Frank Bures, contributing editor of Poets & Writers Magazine pw.org thinks so. His main thesis in Inner Space: Clearing Some Room For Inspiration
is that we need to find a quiet, uninterrupted space from which to write. He also says that we now are so overloaded with data and stories that we are losing our ability to create.
I can see his point, but also think we can use our stream of tweets and other interruptions as a great source for inspiration. It is just a matter of perspective.
What do you think?
Oh, I wrote this on my iPhone while sitting in a Books-A-Million cafe as tweets and emails bombarded me with Christmas music blaring as they vacuumed the store.
