I don't go online when I'm writing - that's the devil's workshop - but in general, I'm on there as much as any other global citizen.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I not only work online through my various projects, but I am an avid user of online technologies to connect and engage with friends as well.
On the Internet, everyone is writing. There is a great flowering of writing.
I'm there on all the social networking sites, as it plays an important role.
When you're writing a novel, you spend four years sitting in your basement and a year waiting for the book to come out and then you get the feedback. When you do work online, the moment you're finished making it, people start responding to it which is really fun and allows for a kind of community development you just can't have in novels.
I don't read much of anything online.
I'm a fairly ascetic person. And I do most of my writing at night. You don't get distracted, your brain goes into what you are writing about, into the world you're writing about, rather than into the world you're in.
I just sit around at home, and I have nothing to do, so I am on the Internet all the time.
I can write pretty much anywhere.
I've gotten to know a number of readers from being online, and really treasure the time I've spent with them.
I never go online. The Internet stuff is bonkers. You must not look at it.
