Sticky Notes Blog

A blog of writing news, tips, and inspiration from Fat Plum

The writer as blogger

I've written before about Neil Gaiman, the author of many sci-fi and graphic novels, and how he uses his website to stay connected with fans. The Business-Standard offiers a brief but useful profile of how readers perceive his blog:

A professional writer for more than 20 years, Gaiman has been at the forefront of the revolution that has seen comics and graphic novels gain a measure of literary respectability; his Sandman series is one of the most highly regarded works in the genre. Now, his official website has a cult following that rivals his published work ?with 400,000 unique visitors per month in 2004, and close to 600,000 per month expected in 2005. Gaiman?s online journal (which forms a section of the website) is syndicated to thousands of blog readers every day, and provides treasured insights into the writer?s inspiration, style, and working method.
