I hear all the time how virtual reality is taking over people's lives and how the task of creatively writing a distinct piece, is struggling to find a place amongst all the other pulls.
  Blogging seems to be more creative than most, but do people really want to know all that is passing through the minds of writers?  I wonder.
  Sometimes pages-full are written. I think (purely personal preference) that short and sweet is the way to go. Where is it written that we need to know everyone else's opinions on everything these days?
  And sadly, occasionally it should be reiterated, rather loudly - as Thumper's dad once said - 'If you can't say anything nice, don't say nothing at all.'

My world is filling up with virtual life. First Facebook, then Twitter. I have an account on Authonomy, for writing critique and now have been led into Wattpad too. Then there are emails, and promo networking, Goodreads and Blogs. Where is writing itself meant to take its place, let alone reality?
