More Authors Keeping Online Journals As Ways to Update Fans and Offer Commentary
The Associated Press
NEW YORK Sept. 23, 2004 — Jennifer Weiner, author of the best-selling novels "Good in Bed" and "In Her Shoes," likes to spend three to four hours a day working on fiction. When she's done, time and family permitting, she updates her online journal.
"When I went on my first book tour (in 2001), I began keeping a Web diary and everyday I would write about the latest indignity I suffered," she says. "And I found I really enjoyed doing it. It's a way for me to keep in touch with my readers."
Writers chime is from both sides of the question. This still represents a good bit of progress, since last year at this time, most of the authors I knew were dead set against ever having a blog!
