The Tools O’ the Blogosphere
March 20th, 2008 at 7:20 pm (Writers are Crazy)
So, do you think that blog tools are set up with writers in mind?
Not dabblers. Not people who started a blog to try to make money online or just ’cause they thought that it might be fun. I’m talking about real writers. People who spend more time inside their own heads than engaging in conversations. People who actually think that they’ve been to other worlds just because they have written some words down about them. People who feel comfortable enough playing God that they will create both external and internal characteristics of numerous people, set up realities for them, and even put words into their mouths. I’m talking about people like me. Crazy ass people!
You see, I think that blog tools were, in fact, set up for the really crazy writers, not just part-timers. You know why? It’s the ‘publish’ button. Whenever I finish typing something up, I can save it, edit it, or I can “publish” it.
I think it’s a cheap ploy to allow totally pathetic schmucks like myself to shout “I’ve been published” as often as they desire.
Well played, blogosphere, well played.
