“If you just want to write and not re-write, blog.” That was uttered by Anne Thompson, deputy editor of Variety, moderating a panel of screenwriters at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. Another: “What’s the point of living but to love one another?” That’s from Andrew Stanton, who wrote Wall-E. Both quotes from a report by George, who was there. By dark coincidence, Anne has been laid off. Will she continue to blog at Variety? What will happen to her blog archives there? Just wondering.

Hmmm…. I write, and rewrite my blog entries.

I think of ideas for blog entries… but by the time I can actually do them… the blogosphere is off to something new, so my entry won’t matter anymore…
so now I write comments, and hope for the best.
I wish there were a better way to do this.

Your comment about Anne made me think of something I read just this morning. Lynne Brindley, Chief exec of the British Library, warns that we’re in danger of losing our memory in this digital age:
