The first one

You used to be able to write books as if they were journals. Been there, done that. Read it also. Take Bridget Jones' Diary, for example. Nowadays, though, if you're going to develop a character, you have to think about what she would blog. But if Bridget Jones had blogged instead of keeping a diary, then Mark Darcy would have know much earlier how much she hated him and there would have been no story. I have always wondered why anyone would need to blog and have everything just hanging out there for everyone else to see. But it's time to plug my nose and jump into the 21st century. I hope I don't drown. I figure if no one reads this, it's just like a journal anyway.
