Does blogging really count as writing?
Since my attempts at getting published the traditional way have been miserable failures, I'm finally turning to blogs as a way to publish my work. I've got several: a blog for my sci-fi stories (I'm publishing "Alter Ego" right now serially), another for my attempt to write one poem every day in 2006, with a few "other" items thrown in for fun, and, finally, a blog about our new puppies Sasha Rose and Gimli, Son of Gloin.
My idea, dumb as it may seem, is to use the blogs as a way to practice writing and to try to generate interest. If it works, maybe I'll try to self-publish my first novel, The Eden Project, which I have completely abandoned as being saleable to a real publisher. I've moved on - now I'm writing a novel called The Legend of Charlie Snicklefritz.
But anyway, this all begs the question: does blogging really count as literature? Or is it just another vanity press?
