Blog #5

Upon review of the best blogs of 2012, I've chosen to look at the blog Evil Editor (http://evileditor.blogspot.com/?m=1) to review. I personally adore this blog. I was reading it for at least 20 minutes because it was just really amusing 

The blog basically puts up letters to an editor/publisher, and talks about what was good and bad in the writing. 
I liked it because it was amusing. They also talk about tips to good writing. The only problem was, as a first time user of the site, I didn't really understand what was going on. 
Because of that, it was not totally easy to follow for someone who wasn't already familiar with his blogging and writing style. 

From this blog, I learned quite a few things. First of all, the writers style was very bland. In my opinion, he just seemed sardonic and sarcastic. 
There was no really strong "voice" the author had; he just sounded like every other funny but sarcastic author. Which is funny, because he's making fun of those authors in his blog. Ironic.
I also noticed how stupid the other authors (the ones who had written to him) sounded when they used improper grammar.
The lack of improper grammar made it almost impossible for me to focus on what was being said. 
It's something I personally totally take for granted. But this made me realize how important it was.

Overall, the blog was incredibly interesting and a great read for anyone who wants to be a writer. 
There were a few problems with it, but regardless it was an amusing, sarcastic, and enlightening read.
