Most writers - and I include myself in this sweeping generalisation - like to be read. If 20,000 eyeballs hit our stuff, we want 30,000. The Internet, then, is tailormade for us, just because we can lure poor unsuspecting souls into free blogs such as this one and get them reading stuff that they would otherwise walk many miles in tight shoes to avoid. No editorial blue-pencilling, no "Sorry, your piece got axed at the last minute," no "Yes, but can we have the less interesting angle highlighted instead, and in just 250 words?"...bully for the Internet!
