meaningful content multitasking

There is such remarkable opportunity in our writing and thinking lives: we can share what we've created, how we're thinking, what we're inventing through so many outlets. Twitter becomes a tool to help ignite quick connections, get the word out, read and react quickly to ideas. Facebook is a hub that lets us talk ritual and connection and see what others are doing. Vimeo and youtube give us a platform. Blogs allow us to think out loud and archive. We text and fill ideabooks and take notes. All good, except that I'm writing to fuel the process rather than writing to tell stories or frame the next idea. I note that there are now creative tools that help you crossplatform and prioritize. But damn, I want to clear the table and just write the story.

Kristin and I have talked alot about this - her thesis topic revolves around gen. y - yes, i certainly agree my generation has been so saturated with so much STUFF, it really is a challenge to complete anything from start to finish - especially anything meaningful (as I sit her, multi-tasking rather than working on my homework assignment...yikes)
