These days, it's hard to imagine a web-savvy writer who does not blog. Writers, especially prolific ones, would hardly say no to a publishing opportunity like blogging, which is as simple as typing on a word processor and clicking the PUBLISH button.
Writers blog for varied reasons: to chronicle the goings-on in their lives, to show samples of their work to a vast audience, to sell/promote their books or writing services, to write on a particular topic (also called 'niche blogging'), or to blog chapter by chapter until they finish an entire book.
