I guess that could go for writing too.<BR/><BR/>With talking there is that body language of another person which influences the meaning and tone of the words. You don't get that in a blog. <BR/><BR/>All in all I would say we need a brain to do either one.<BR/><BR/>I guess we could study further the difference between a blogger and a writer or categorize them. Not every blogger is a writer and they don't have to be.<BR/><BR/>I really enjoy your commentsCarma Dutrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552905128829205617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045904440771768871.post-43152644481768781802008-01-09T07:47:00.000-08:002008-01-09T07:47:00.000-08:00Mutes excepted there are very few people who can't...Mutes excepted there are very few people who can't talk, talking is easy, natural. Writing, on the other hand, is structured; there is technique behind it. This doesn't mean that there are not good and bad conversationalists but talking is nevertheless more natural than writing.<BR/><BR/>Blogging, by its very nature, feels chatty. It doesn't feel like writing. I can see totally why some people would find it easier to relate to blogging. Also writing – to many people's standards – doesn’t become valid until it's published. It's then that you're a 'real' writer. A blog doesn’t require such a rubber stamp.Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.com
