Great Aunt Minnie wrote letters home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #333333 !important;\">She complains of \u2018flatulency\u2019, comments unfavourably on fashion in Marseilles and mentions catching sight of Queen Victoria in Nice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #333333 !important;\">If young Minnie had been online, you can imagine her posting a selfie with Queen Victoria in the background, blogging about the merits of trousers for women and posting her intention to go gluten free (probably without mentioning her flatulence).<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #333333 !important;\">Back then, people shared their ideas and experiences in letters. Today, we share online.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #333333 !important;\">In contrast to Minnie\u2019s letters, my great-grandfather\u2019s letters are dreary and bigoted. He says the \u2018natives\u2019 of Colombo are \u2018a dirty slovenly lot\u2019, is focused on money and is affronted that Europe\u2019s Catholics don\u2019t respect \u2018the sacredness of the Sabbath\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #333333 !important;\">While we might have to adjust our style to suit new media, our chances of engaging our readers haven\u2019t changed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #333333 !important;\">So what style adjustments need to be made?<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #333333 !important;\">Online writing is a very new form so thinking in terms of rules is misleading. Both new and established writers are equal participants in the various evolving online styles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #333333 !important;\">Looking at examples of other people\u2019s work is helpful, but feeling your way forward is the key to writing online.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #333333 !important;\">A good example of a member of my local community who has been actively exploring online writing is\u00a0<a style=\"color: #c14900;\" href=\"https:\/\/open.abc.net.au\/people\/9108?personId=9108&amp;page=2&amp;limit=12\">Concetta McFall.<\/a>\u00a0Concetta writes memoir, journalism and family history for ABC Open.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #333333 !important;\">Reading Concetta\u2019s work, you can almost feel the pleasure that exploration can bring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #333333 !important;\">An interesting example of a novelist who is exploring new styles is\u00a0<a style=\"color: #c14900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/333390.Jane_Routley\">Jane Routley.\u00a0<\/a>Jane writes<a style=\"color: #c14900;\" href=\"https:\/\/janeroutley.com\/?page_id=80\">observational pieces<\/a>\u00a0based on what she sees in her day job at a Melbourne railway station.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #333333 !important;\">In the past, it would have been difficult to publish this sort of short, narrative non-fiction. The online world makes it easy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #333333 !important;\">While the online world is open, there are constraints, most frequently word or character limits. Don\u2019t be daunted.

I've published 3 books as me including the Aurealis Award winners \"Mage Heart\" and \"Fire Angels\" as well as \"Aramaya\", and one book as Rebecca Locksley - \"The Three Sisters\". My short stories have been widely anthologized, appeared in Meanjin, and have been read on the ABC. My favourite writers are Jane Austen, Angela Carter, Sara Douglass, and Janet Evanovich. My current life ambition is to see an erupting volcano.","sameAs":["https:\/\/janeroutley.com"]}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"featured_image_src":null,"featured_image_src_square":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"JaneRoutley","author_link":"https:\/\/janeroutley.com\/?author=1"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"ab-block-post-grid-landscape":false,"ab-block-post-grid-square":false,"gb-block-post-grid-landscape":false,"gb-block-post-grid-square":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"JaneRoutley","author_link":"https:\/\/janeroutley.com\/?author=1"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"My friend and fellow writer Tor Roxburgh was kind enough to mention me in this charming \u00a0article on ABC on-line. \u00a0Everyone fusses about the death of written communication but Tor thinks its just about a change of style. &nbsp; The Online Style Revolution By\u00a0Tor Roxburgh\u00a0\u00b7 One hundred and fifteen years ago, my great-grandfather and great-aunt&hellip;","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/janeroutley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/janeroutley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/janeroutley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/janeroutley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/janeroutley.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=297"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/janeroutley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":302,"href":"https:\/\/janeroutley.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297\/revisions\/302"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/janeroutley.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/janeroutley.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/janeroutley.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
