@denmarkguy ** You are absolutely correct - even a wildlife photography blogger like me has started writing photo essays. Nothing even close to what you accomplish though. A million words plus a year is impressive indeed. You could have written a whole novel !**. However, it all depends on what makes you happy. If writing does then the length of article or money to be received does not matter. Thanks for sharing. Upvoted.
I am continuing my passionate focus on wildlife. Today I wrote a blog on Snoozing parrots with my musings about Thomas Carlyle equating parrots to economists. I request you to take a look at it when you have time. Your comments, as always, would be an encouragement and incentive for me to make better blogs. Thanks
Thanks @vm2904; this type of writing has always been quite easy for me because it feels so much like "having a conversation" with a potential reader... it's very free-form, follows no literary structure; it just ebbs and flows according to what I am experiencing from what I am reading.
With your wildlife articles, I see you as simply having a conversation with people seeing the photos, again as if it were a dialogue.
I'll be off to read, in just a bit.
