Resource Person: Professor Butch Dalisay

Jose Dalisay Jr., aka Butch Dalisay is a Palanca Hall of Fame
Awardee, UP professor, and owns a blog at Pinoy Penman

Butch Dalisay views blogs as a form of literature. Anything that is
written is literature. The quality varies. Some are good. Some are
bad. Blogs fail as literature when there is barely any editing. Never
mind the grammatical and mechanical mistakes. The organization, the
material, the way it is approached, other things you could have
brought in instead but didn’t. In other words, it’s not really thought
out because maybe it wasn’t designed that way. It is exciting because
it empowers ordinary people to be authors and publishers. Over time,
it’s going to change how literature will look. There is this move from
text to the internet and the hypertext moving back to print. It won’t
be far before there will be a compilation of “Best of Blogs”.

Butch Dalisay graciously agreed to hold a short talk on Creative
Non-Fiction for Bloggers for those who want to get more tips on
creative writing.
