RU Sirius inquires…

by Frank Paynter on October 6, 2007

“Is the net good for writers?

Ten writers, including Michael Simmons, Paul Krassner and Clay Shirky reply. The consensus seems to be (SPOILER ALERT): Yeah maybe, but no, not always, except when it is. You know.

Krassner perhaps says it best: …although I blog for free, occasional paid assignments have fallen into my lap as a result. Better than lapdancing.

(TY to wood s lot for the pointer)

Seven years of the “s lot”

by Frank Paynter on October 6, 2007

Mark Woods celebrates the seventh anniversary of his curatorship at Woods Lot, his “over the garage gluation and scissorology scriptorium.”

Mark offers the following on his “Who” page:

“Celebration … is self-restraint, is attentiveness, is questioning, is meditating, is awaiting, is the step over into the more wakeful glimpse of the wonder — the wonder that a world is worlding around us at all, that there are beings rather than nothing, that things are and we ourselves are in their midst, that we ourselves are and yet barely know who we are, and barely know that we do not know this.”
- Martin Heidegger

I’ve said before, and I repeat: wood s lot is the blog I’d most like to have with me on a desert island.
