Writing For The Web

I read the book Writing For The Web by Linda Felder which is a very good book which I bought from kobo. This is an ebook and I expected it to be quite short but was actually a decent length and quite interesting. It's about composing blogs and websites with content such as photographs, sound clips & of course writing. Of course you should use photographs and sound clips sparingly. The more you practice taking photos, constructing blogs and writing the better you will get at it. Even the author Jack Kerouac who used to write whilst on speed, used no punctuation & would write a whole book at one sitting developed his art over many years. Many authors have a ritual prior to writing, like ie Stephen King takes a vitamin pill. If you are serious about becoming a good writer you should get a good book on grammar & punctuation. I for example have a book called Words Into Type by various authors & I have read it but it's a very complex subject. In my writing I often try to minimize my punctuation to enable my thoughts to flow. Some people write blogs without any punctuation which obviously makes them difficult to read and I bet there aren't many like that.
