Recently, at NetSquared, I got the opportunity to meet David Sasaki, who manages Rising Voices, a project of Global Voices. Rising Voices recently released a request-for-proposals for micro-grants up to $5,000 for blogging work.
"Beth Kanter":http://beth.typepad.com won the "NTEN":http://www.nten.org prize at the Nonprofit Technology Conference this year. Perfect choice--she epitomizes what blogging is about--ability to write with a curiosity and imagination for what is possible.
At lunch this week, "Lucy Bernholz":http://philanthropy.blogspot.com explained that blogging was her way of procrastinating from doing a bunch of things on her todo list, including a bunch of writing. The irony, she noted, was that she probably wrote at least a book's worth of blog posts during that time.
In her observation lies the kernel of truth that stayed in my head--how does a book get written?
One word at a time.
Just the same way a blog gets written.
