There's no point waiting for inspiration because it may never hit you, when this happens I sit and type one word at a time. Before I know it, I've written a paragraph, then two, and then I'm typing normally because I've found my flow.(less)

Benjamin Solah I think I have a short attention span. Most of the books are of different types so depending on my mood, I'll read different books.

The Blogging Revolution is good at the moment because I was finding Pamuk too dense, and I have to read Bukharin for a Marxist reading group - so that's not really fun reading. My head wants to explode after each chapter but I'm learning heaps from it.


Benjamin Solah I'll gladly take credit *grin*
