“Write from your little toe” - How not to write a novel
Further to yesterday’s post about writing and blogging, The Guardian book blog shares its 30-point guide on “How not to Write a Novel”. Some of the points might just prove my displacement theory: “Watch some music videos, nay, watch every single music video in Yahoo!’s online music library (approximately 5000)” and “Install broadband on your computer and become addicted to your emails.”
I like point 2 best, though: “Don’t write from the heart. Write from your little toe. Or from your elbow. Or from your bum.”

On the other hand if you really hope to write, use a computer, that is NOT connected to the Internet.
