Of Procrastination and Google

The New York Times book section’s blog, Paper Cuts, is one of my favorite literary blogs (soon I will link it on the sidebar). Today’s interview with Buzz Bissinger is a gem. He admits that the Internet is a bad influence on his productivity, and also that he Googles his name frequently for no real purpose! It’s always encouraging to me, as a junior writer, to hear my own concerns and insecurities coming from the mouth of a larger figure in the literary world.

Also, if you haven’t read Friday Night Lights I can’t recommend it more highly. In the interview, he talks about his upcoming book about parenting twins– I’m definitely looking forward to that as well!
