If people want to be better writers, they can't just read the blogs! You've got to look at something that's outside this rushing world of evanescent words.

Just because you have a blog doesn't mean that you should, like, lie for no reason.

The first thing you learn when you're blogging is that people are one click away from leaving you. So you've got to get to the point, you can't waste people's time, you've got to give them some value for their limited attention span.

What's great is that starting a blog can get you lot of attention for your writing. But it doesn't have to be for anybody other than yourself.

I'm not sure blogs are necessarily the best place to get a pulse on anything. People want to blog for a variety of reasons, and that may or may not be representative.

Put your blog out into the world and hope that your talent will speak for itself.

I think my blog is fairly circumspect and elliptical. I've written personal essays, but they are short and to the point: in and out, and that's that.

Blogs are quite a new development - now, everyone wants to know you, everyone wants to know everything about you. And you can build a following that way. In a way, it's a good thing if you want to create a buzz around yourself.

I loathe blogs when I look at them. Blogs look, to me, illiterate. They look hasty, like someone babbling.

I'm terrible at posting regularly; I don't deserve the blog success!
