John Baker’s Blog

1. Why do you blog?
I blog to be read and to connect. I started my blog as a substitute of my old website, but it has become something more dynamic. I do not post every day, but try to update it regularly with new poetic posts, Art or links to other blogs.
It’s through BlogLand that I have re-dicovered old friends and found new fellow-writers.

2. Which author and/or book has most influenced you?
G.G.Marquez: One Hundred Years of Solitude

3. Which three blogs do you most visit?
Silliman’s Blog at: http://ronsilliman.blogspot.com/
John Baker’s Blog at: http://www.johnbakersblog.co.uk/
The Jackdaw’s Nest at: http://hedgeguard.blogspot.com/
These, for poetry and writing in general, but I visit many others focused on Art and various Issues.

4. Why do you read fiction?
I read fiction because I like to travel: the better written fiction is, the more I travel in my mind. I adore the worlds words create.

5. What makes you laugh?
A good joke; a clever use of irony; all those who take themselves too seriously both in the real world and in the Net.
