famous "contemporary" writers who do not blog

there are a lot of famous "contemporary" writers who do not blog. these are writers who (i would imagine) make a lot of money by selling their words to publishers, who then print said words on sheets of paper, which are then bound and sold in bookstores in the form of novels or poetry collections or short story collections.

(when i think of famous "contemporary" writers who do not blog, i am thinking of zadie smith, jonathan franzen, possibly even bret easton-ellis or irvine welsh. ian mcewan has a blog, but it is just a list of advertisements to sell his books, it does not have any of his thoughts or feelings, just advertisements.)

these famous writers who do not blog are people who use microsoft word to write their stories, and who probably spend a lot of time on the internet, considering that they probably procrastinate a lot, or get bored while writing their stories. they probably read a lot of blogs themselves.

i don't understand these sorts of writers, the ones without blogs. if you are a "writer", shouldn't you be wanting to share your writing as often as possible, and to as many people as possible?

the only reason i can think why these famous "contemporary" writers do not have blogs, is because they are deliberately trying to tell people (through not having a blog), "my words are better than your words, because my words cost money. if you want to read my words, you will have to pay me". that is a bad attitude. these writers do not want to be seen as real people, they want to be seen as "creative geniuses" who are "superior" to their readers.

i can think in the way that these writers think. they think, "publishing words on the internet is low culture, but publishing words on bound paper is high culture." no. words are just words, it does not matter where they are published, they will still have exactly the same meaning. i can read things that are humorous on facebook, or things that are sad in sms messages, or intelligent in emails. these authors think that they are better at using language than people who are "non-authors", but in reality everybody is an author, if they are able to talk or write to any degree. these authors who do not have blogs are trying to pretend that they are "professionals", but in reality they are just normal people whose words are as equally valid as everybody else, and they do not want people to see this.

that is why i think that all authors should have blogs, and people should not read any "contemporary" author who does not have a blog (if they live in sub-saharan africa and do not have access to an internet cafe, they are exempted. writers who are too poor to afford internet access are also exempted).
