I must have imagined the connection I feel to certain bloggers and writers that only publish online…
I don’t think they are referring to the writers themselves, rather, the physical computer screen and/or book. At least that’s how I interpret it! Words are words, it doesn’t matter how you read them, but there is a very real difference(emotional? yes) elicited by the type of media used to read those words. Computer/e-reads don’t hold a candle to books and never will! But it is nice to know that you have a connection to writers, however they distribute their words!
