So, every once in a while it’s fun when I bump up against a creator who thinks I’m insane. Someone like Dillon McKinsey, a poet and co-host of Writing On The Air, a local Austin radio program I was interviewed on not too long ago. I was explaining to Dillon how, yeah, having a book was great, but that I thought of my blog as my primary publication, a constantly evolving, but pretty permanent archive of my work, and then he dropped his “internet as fireworks on the fourth of July” metaphor, excerpted here.
