This could be scary but so many people do it all the time. You’ve got retail people and front of house people who do the bulk of their work in the public eye so why not writing? I’ve watched people live blog from Nuffnang and other blogging conferences and I find the idea really interesting, I don’t think my typing is anywhere near fast enough though so I don’t intend to try it.

One enterprising author is going to the other extreme and writing her novel on Google Docs. You can read more about it here, don’t forget to read the comments, as is often the case they’re more interesting than the original article.

I think this could be really boring for the reader, especially if they’re watching me. I type for a bit then delete whole swathes as I’ve decided it’s useless, or I make a typo and then delete whole swathes to fix the typo, then I stop and think for a while. Rinse and repeat ad nauseum until I finally finish what I’m typing. It might be okay if the writing was good to start off with or if I was a faster typist but it’s pretty boring watching someone type.

Will I ever do living blogging? Don’t know, I can’t read the future. I do tell people not to contact me by telepathy as I’m not good at receiving so why would I be any better at reading the future?
