Blogger's Life & The Importance Of Blogging ..... ?

To blog is therefore to let go of your writing in a way,  to hold it at arm’s length, open it to scrutiny, allow it to float in  the ether for a while, and to let others, as Montaigne did, pivot you  toward relative truth. A blogger will notice this almost immediately  upon starting. Some e-mailers, unsurprisingly, know more about a subject  than the blogger does. They will send links, stories, and facts,  challenging the blogger’s view of the world, sometimes outright refuting  it, but more frequently adding context and nuance and complexity to an  idea. The role of a blogger is not to defend against this but to embrace  it. He is similar in this way to the host of a dinner party. He can  provoke discussion or take a position, even passionately, but he also  must create an atmosphere in which others want to participate.

In fact, for all the intense gloom surrounding the  news-paper and magazine business, this is actually a golden era for  journalism. The blogosphere has added a whole new idiom to the act of  writing and has introduced an entirely new generation to nonfiction. It  has enabled writers to write out loud in ways never seen or understood  before. And yet it has exposed a hunger and need for traditional writing  that, in the age of television’s dominance, had seemed on the wane. Words, of all sorts, have never seemed so now.

So, blog now and start growing today if you have passion for it. 

Thank you. !!!
