I
haven’t blogged in a record amount of time for me. I’d like to think this is
because I’ve realised the true value of work, and that my creative energies are
best focused on the epic film script I’ve just written. No. The truth is, I’ve
found twitter.....
.. ..
To
start I thought the two were able to co-exist. Micro-blogging and
macro-blogging (this is macro-blogging, by the way. What a posh word for what
is basically an apology to approximately no one)... But because twitter has
that bite-sized quality, whatever you are thinking, so long as you are thinking
a thing, can be squeezed into it. The fact that you can do it from your phone
means that you can ‘tweet’ during a bad film in a cinema, or even a good film,
or a minute before you go onstage, or even onstage itself (I have not done
this... yet. Adam Hills, I hear tell, is a fan of this). It’s rare you’re out
and about and think, “You know what I really need to get out there to the
world: this 500-word long blog.” More likely it’s things like ‘Don’t go and see
Saw VI: it’s rubbish’. Or ‘Had a lovely gig in Liverpool’. Or even more likely:
‘Had a lovely gig in Leeds’.....
.. ..
So
that’s my reasoning for lack of blogging. I may blog more, now I’ve remembered
too, but more than likely, my main witterings will be over on
twitter.com/paulkerensa. You don’t need to be on twitter to read them – you can
just go to that link in the previous sentence. If you sign up though to
twitter, then you can ‘follow’ (like friending on Facebook), and help soothe my
ego. Twould be appreciated. Thanks.....
