The internet is largely to blame for this. Scan a few writing blogs and you get the idea this is how it's supposed to be. One big group hug, discussed at length. The truth is, many published authors don't have blogs, and their websites are maintained by their publishers. Don't believe me? Try to find a writing blog written by any of the following (and I'm picking these at random): Stephen King, Tom Clancy, Wilbur Smith, JK Rowling.
Sure, they're the top shelf multi-million sellers. Take it down a few notches and you'll find pro writers who appear at signings, but they seem completely out of their element in the bright lights and noise. And they're not blogging either.
But aren't blogs a useful publicity tool, gathering readers to your words of wisdom? In truth, not really. 90% or more of all book sales occur when someone in a shop spots a title they fancy. Less than five percent occur online, and of those 99% are sales of books by famous authors. And where will your blog posts be five years from now? A printed book is forever.
So why all the blogging and chat? Because it's publishing by proxy. You may not have a book in print - possibly haven't even written one - but by gum you can talk about it, and by talking about it you're included in the big old friendly world of publishing.
