"They" say that blogging is good for the soul.......but hell, with current life's pace how do you fit it in?
Somewhere between rushing out to do the shopping, repairs around the house, mowing the lawn or exercise or where? A late night solitary note in the semi-dark, maybe. It is not that creative thoughts are not leaping into the consciousness........far from it. But noting them, working on them and developing them into a useful addition to a blog does take time.
How many blogs have you read recently that have degenerated into useless mush, driven by the paranoia to get something done every day? It is not that we are all newspaper cartoonists, driven by the daily deadline. Is it not better to say it with some style rather than some mindless pap?
THAT should be a useful exercise for all bloggers.
Saying something with panache is, like all writing, an exercise that does extend the brain.
So go to it............read the mindless garbage out there, and do not repeat the same idiocy.
Surely this will bring out the commenters!

Well, I'll bite.
I've only been blogging a short time. Really started because of our upcoming move. Sometimes I'll come across a blog and think - I really don't care that your kid got a haircut. But, if it's someone I've been reading for months, I actually find myself caring about that pointless bit of minutia.
But, someone might just run across my blog, and if you want them to come back, you do need to be interesting. So who are you writing for?
I am writing for myself.....a bit of light hearted creative stuff, and "ruminations on life in the monsoonal tropics". Beats the heavy stuff of academic papers and scientific reports.
