Cathleen Schine: The Internet offers endless opportunities for procrastination
Who are you and in which way do you work with books?
My name is Cathleen Schine and I write novels.
How do digital media and the Internet change your work?
The most obvious benefit is enormous: research is so much easier. I rarely have to go the library. I fall asleep in libraries. I fall asleep at home, too, but it’s less embarrassing. The most obvious negatives are enormous, too: endless opportunities for procrastination. I have a website and a blog and I’m on facebook, which is a benefit in that I can stay in touch with readers in an informal way. But of course it’s also another chance to procrastinate.
What is a typical problem in your work you would like to have a solution for?
Earning a living. A solution to that problem would be wonderful!
Where can we find you on the Internet?
