Blogging gives me the freedom to rant about anything under the sun and above it. It doesn’t have to adhere to the typical start,build up, climax aspects of story telling. I can write as if I am talking with someone.
Is this a boon or a bane??
Does it make more and more people lose the classic charm of story telling?
Does it make more and more people confident enough to tell their stories and not bother about whether it will sell?

I don't know if stories will work in a blog. For starters, there is the scroll. What if I write a long story, will any one read it? I doubt it. Unless I'm well known outside the blogging world like Manjula Padmanabhan (marginalien.blogspot.com) or Uma Mahadevan Dasgupta (indianwriting.blogspot.com) or have built a reputation as a good writer to look out for like Falstaff (2x3x7.blogspot.com), no one is going to read me.
I blog because I want to say something which otherwise I might have been unable to so. I treat blogs like my own personal magazine where I am both the editor and the writer. :)
