How to write in the age of distraction

For all you writers out there, Cory "Putting the torch to seven straw-men of the meta-utopia" Doctorow's Writing in the Age of Distraction has some sharp advice summarising how to avoid being "info-whelmed" when writing to deadlines. Via dana boyd.

Doctorow's five-minute video Writing a Novel is in the same vein.

(Putting the torch to seven straw-men of the meta-utopia, from 2001, is here.)
