Writing and blogging are like to different things guys. ANY NUMPTY CAN HAVE A BLOG! Even a popular blog at that but not everyone can write.
There is something called creative expression I find lacking. What I see around are Journal writers talking about either depression or elation by accounting events. GUYS TAP THESE EMOTIONS AND DIRECT THEM CREATIVELY!
It's like, I am not interested in your mundane descriptions, frankly. Unless you can create an enchantment so profound it envelops me completely. I have a distracted mind so if you command my concentration, you have my love.
If you can't be a magical writer, atleast have one line that grabs attention. A single thought provoking statement will be enough.
What's it about calling fantasies uncool? THEY ARE THE HEIGHT OF IMAGINATIVE ABILITY! If you can disregard such talent then curses be on you. Although of course just not any fantasy is acceptable.
Fiction. I am not a fan of this genre. That is like describing daily life and as I said before it's hardly worth writing about. Science fiction, thrillers, these are good.
Historical writing is another noteworthy genre. This captures the essence of a certain period giving a personal account, full with personal perspective and individuality.
Yes! Now I get the right word to describe my discontent. INDIVIDUALITY AND PERSPECTIVE. What you write should be inward and at the same time must relate to what happens around you. Those who sink to the level of merely reporting events, I despise you.
Using big words is not impressing, mind. Harry Potter uses simple language and it managed to capture the hearts of millions. Your grammar and vocabulary must be proper, but that is in no way enough. If you lack imagination the rest is futile.
Also, possess the modesty of not declaring yourself as writers to me. Link me your blog and I'll be the judge.
Having a blog is not cool. Writing is.
