Where are the blogs written for readers?
I think in Marathi. But blogging in Marathi is difficult. Not sure how others do it. Do they write in Marathi on paper and then just copy that?
Of course this depends on what kind of stuff you are writing. If it's a story, probably you have some rough structure ready in your mind and then you write it. If it's a suspense story or somhing with a twist at the end , then generally writing is executed as a project with all the drafts and characters ready. Same for novels.
The question here is more about free form of writing. Something akin to what I've seen on Abhijit Bathe's blog.
I see more and more bloggers , who write something else than just a diary kind of stuff, are leaning towards this kind of free form of writing. To a certain extent this is nice. But there's a danger there- when you feel the need of reading something that has entertainment value, this kind of writing cannot satisfy it. Of course, somebody could argue that it is not written with the intention of entertaining others. The writer writes because he needs to ; not really for the readers.
Where are those master storytellers who have a story to write and who are first and foremost catering to the readers? Call my taste cheap and ordinary, but am looking for such blogs..

Take a look at my blogs. You may like them.
May be you can read mine :)
I am not a master story teller at any rate, but my blog has small fictional stories and they can be entertaining sometimes :)
Phadnis Sir,
Sorry for a real late reply - thanks for your comment and your blogs. Your blogs make a nice read.
Nivedita,
I've been following your 'mi aani badbad' blog for past couple of years. It's absolutely fantastic!
Should have told you so earlier , but am almost always in ROM mode; courtesy, plain laziness.
The complaint about that blog is- more posts please.
