- Didion is by far my most favorite Nonfiction writer, and she has zero online presence. The article above is a piece about Didion NOT blogging. In the article Didion says, “It seems like writing, except quicker. I mean, I’m not actually looking for that instant feedback.” I think that the difference between Skloot and Didion may come from age, and a different Nonfiction world. I don't think Didion is necessarily afraid of blogging and twitter, but I'm sure she doesn't find much use from it from the aforementioned comment. In today's world it seems like a crime to not be digitally present. I'm sure if Skloot had zero digital presence there would be some sort of whiplash or repercussions. For someone that was established before Twitter came along, remaining digital-less seems like the best choice. Skloot wins the battle for being so easily accessible to fans.
