I've asked myself this question many times. Good thing we have the highly organized KAK who keeps our calendar of topics working. Truth. Blogging is part of the job with a change of scenery and the potential for feedback. The real challenge.
Three Reasons Why I Blog, **now with sarcasm at no
extra charge
3.) I’m an author, so of course I regularly put energy into
activities that are often futile…like getting lost in research for days and
emerging with three perfect bits I need and two hundred neat but useless bits that
led me so very far astray….
2.) Writing about the craft of writing reinforces that
particular aspect of the craft of writing that I am writing about. {Read that 3
times really fast…} It’s career homework for which there is no grade given and
no credit towards a degree offered. But it’s practice and its interaction with
fans, which helps a poor author feel relevant in a big, big world.
1.) It’s cheaper than a therapist, who’d also ask me to talk
about various aspects of my life. And it’s out there on the internet {read that
as: a not always supportive anonymous support group} so if I fuck up, the
suggestions of how to fix it {and various unrelated areas of my life} will be
plentiful.
