So, Robin Hobb is full of shit again.

I read this, after George R. R. Martin claimed "she speaks truth". Well, George, I have immense respect for you, but that just ain't true. If you're not disciplined and professional enough to keep your work (your actual work, not the blog) flowing, then you really have no claim to calling yourself a professional anything, no matter what your profession.

And honestly, unless you spend hours upon hours writing blog entries (which Hobb seems to think you have to), having a blog should not claim the totality of your 'writing day' as she terms it. If you blog that much, your blog is probably the main feature of what your readers take in - that, or they only skim your blog entries, and then why are you writing them anyway?

Blogging is not crack. Not unless you have the worst sort of addictive personality. So George R. R. Martin, relax already. And Robin Hobb, just shut up. I have yet to read anything very sensible out of this woman, and I wonder why her blithering seems to hold so much respect.
