The Blog is Dead....So Why are YOU Here?
No one blogs anymore. Well, that is not true. Some of you still blog. But your readers are fewer. Your heyday of comments and commenting and community has passed. There are too many privacy issues as your kids grew up to keep writing about your kids. The top dogs in the blog world took all the prizes. They got the book deals and the endorsements and the free cars and all you were left with was ads that were kind of like selling out, except that they really didn't earn you any money worth quitting your day job, or any kind of job at all, for that matter. Your blog friends are still there, they tweet, they facebook, they instagram. But, they are just soundbites. They are 140 character versions of their pretend selves.
But, YOU, you are a writer. You need words. You are probably a reader too. You enjoy the reading and the writing. Maybe blogging will never be considered true writing, but you honed your craft. You made your words a part of who you are and who you want to be. And those words are still there.
And so you are here. And here, is not a blog. Here is something different. Here is the chance to be a part of words in print. Here is a chance to express your art. Because words ARE art. What do you want to say? What do your words want to express?
This is not a blog.
This is gorilla art...with words.
