Podcast: on discipline?
I enjoyed reading this go-on-listen-to-my-troubles entry. We were about due for one! There’s a kind of voyeuristic pleasure in watching the author gyre and gymble in his own excrement. Funnily, though, the “problems” presented by this esteemed author don’t really come across as insurmountable roadblocks at all.
Actually, the thing I like about these worry-confessions is that rather than “moving the plot along” they provide a small “breathing space” to reflect on what has been. And this one even foreshadows the events to come in the following week.
I also particularly liked this little excerpt, where I’m trying to create a metaphor for embodied documentary-making:
I’m trying to use text as a documentary tool. My eyes and ears are a camera, my mind the film stock, my keyboard an editing suite, the blog is the cinema where you watch it all played back again (and the comments are the seats from which you heckle).
