Yes, what you 're saying so true, but I meant technology...  blogging needs more skills than being  able to do poetry or stories. All the access, traffic, rankings, rates...

in a way tech savvy can excel, but plain writers too can express themselves via blog platform.  but in many cases there work is plagiarized only. so a lot precaution necessary for newbie talents.

I'm really grateful for the blog platform - really. Just that my brain fuses @ getting readership and promoting better blog-response, all that which helps yknow..

Rio, you're right. The fact I'm not techie savvy or wizard  place hurdles in my blogging. Sure, a plain write sans the knowledge of techi parapernalia may fail to make grades in the world of bloggers[ sorry, may be I'm wrong]

Rayla Noel

You're right, seriously. And on that note, I must say Ive learned so much just watching everyone here, with beautiful blogs and expression. Am jealous :))

Lot of bloggers are non writers too and rely more on skillful use of other media like pictures, videos etc.

TF Carthick

If you look at it - bloggers can be of 2 kinds - writers and non writers.

Writers can be of 2 kinds - creative writers and content writers

Creative writers can be of 2 kinds - commercial writers and artists

And I will add some more for the heck of it

Artists can be of of 2 kinds - Fiction writers and Reality writers

Fiction writers can be of 2 kinds - Real Like fiction writers and Fantasy writers

Fantasy writers can be of 2 kinds - Mythological fantasy writers or Science Fiction writers

Science Fiction can be of 2 kinds - Alien encounters or Furtiristic Projection

Futiristic Projection can be of 2 kinds - Technological or Sociological

Does this give some clarity?

wow dude, nice classification

Rayla Noel
from Bangalore |

Totally. Am comforted. Deep happy sigh.  Am a non tech-impulsive scribbler. Trapeezing between some fiction, some creativity, utterly non-commerce, much reality : ... its a RELIEF that there are others too, maddeningly inept maybe in the art of being ' neat and market - worthy'. One has to be readable, its worth the effort of getting some tech know-how. But whoa -look at the kinds of us on Net. Hey thanks

 Tongue out

Your classification is too long and thin. It needs to be a bit more fat! Smile

When we focus on creative writing alone, from the name itself it is evident that to be a writer is more than just to be a blogger.

A blogger need not be a serious writer. But a writer must be a serious writer. He may not be a serious blogger but that does not matter if he writes through some other mediums.

Rayla Noel
from Bangalore |

Jayan Menon - yep - I guess creative writers and all want their worked viewed the best they can - if you don't Blog right, you wont be easily noticed. There is the Technical demand in all things that must reach another, and that's what can make your written word invisible.If we're blogging we must do what good Bloggees do.

Is that a word - Bloggee ( A person who blogs).

Whatever is a creative writer that blogs...? A CREEBEE  Laughing

For me, as I have said sometime earlier that, blogging is just a chance to take out what I have in my mind. Its nothing more than an inspiration to writing.

Writers have talent, and therefore a whole team of publishers and distributors to promote their work.

With bloggers, its mostly us self-promoting on forums and social media.

A man sealed a letter in a bottle in a ship 40 years ago, in the name of his grandson, and threw it in the ocean. some days ago it was found by a man in newzealand and he searched the intended recepient to be in Australia. He was very overwhelmed to receive it.

I foresee some hundred years down the line, great grandsons will come across buried blogs, and rejoice.

this reminded me of Mark twain'z struggle period as writer. He was rejected by publishers all over. One publisher called him up by mistake. when enthusiastically twain went there, publisher realized he has called him mistakenly. He asked his staff to throw him outta his offic
