The Blog and Soul Movement

If you blog it they will come movement@blogandsoul.net

At the end of the day, when our children leave the bosom of home to face the world, the least we could do is make sure they are equipped with the best tools to face the world with a smile.

I’m putting together a series of workshops on helping bloggers critique better. You see, I had a nice talk with Lori and Noemi about two weeks ago as well as a hearty conversation with Anton back in the Philippine Blog Awards and we talked about how different it is to be called a “blogger” versus a “writer.” For instance, travel blogging is different from travel writing. The former may be an expository of events with some pictures, writing down a mix of historical reference, and then maybe a sweet opinion such as “I really enjoyed the trip.”

Travel writing on the other hand is completely different. A travel writer uses “traveling” as a transformational journey to discover oneself. Travel writers don’t really use cameras. They use journals to record their thoughts and epiphanies.

The same may be true then. Food blogger or food writer? Technology blogger or technology writer?

Stay tuned :)
