whats in a word
In response to the thoughts of publishing poetry online by zannie, i have to add that 2.0 has taken creative writing online one step further, by allowing interactivity with the author; the given ability of commenting and adding feedback, even to the point of being able to edit each others work in collaboration like a wiki, writing has taken on a whole new form.
The interactivity of storytelling has also been researched as a thesis by one of the authors of the quote this blog/essay is based on, Jill Walker.
Walker explores the ability to create a fictional character online, where everyone is an author. Its a fascinating exploration that shows in great depth the level on which 2.0 has altered the way in which we write.

Hi Terri, yes it is true that blogging allows the reader to truly become what is being bandied about as a “writerly-reader”, taking the concept of authorship being “under erasure” that one step further.
