Blog style? What exactly is blog style? Is it possible to tackle an issue like female suicide in 140 characters or less? (Would we really want to?) From my perspective, blogs are an avenue to explore ideas and initiate conversations. Since there are as many different styles as there are people, you’re likely to encounter a host of voices out there on the information highway.

Not rude at all – but an interesting observation. This is a group blog where most of the members are part of the same writing group. We all have different goals in the group, and different styles. I’m the only one with “blogging experience” (such as it is) so this is also a bit of discovery for all of us in finding topics, voice, etc.

In some ways it is learning to write in yet another style – blogs. But something to chat about at our next writing group. Thank you!

I really don’t mean to be rude, but throughout reading this piece (which raised an interesting point, by the way) I thought the writing made me think of an English essay more than a blog post. So, I wasn’t very surprised to find out the author was an English teacher!

I’m not saying it’s too boring, should be shortened or that all blog posts should be written in a similar style, but still, in a blog about writing, I’d expect a different style.
