5 REASONS TO BLOG

When I posted the previous post last week I was surprised by how many emails and conversation I had with people who thought I might stop blogging. Here is the short answer, "I WILL NOT STOP BLOGGING."

I thought of reasons you should keep blogging:

1) You're readership demands your communication. I find at times I can quickly communicate in the middle of the moment through the blog and get immediate feedback.

2) You enjoy reading Blogs. I read blogs, books and magazines in that order. I am more interested in learning from reading a blog than listening to a 45 minute message.

3) You have something to say that matters. My mind is full of tons of useful and useless stuff. I blog about both.

4) You like to write. I admit, in school I hated writing, in fact, I wrote a paper in a college course and totally bombed it. It was an argumentative paper and obviously the prof didn't like my position. After getting the grade back the prof allowed me to do a re-write; I did, I changed nothing in the paper but my opposing position. The grade soared to a B. I couldn't believe that a prof would allow position to determine grade; consequently, I didn't write for a long time. Blogging has helped restore my passion for writing.

5) You have fun blogging. I have a blast writing thoughts, reading others and weighing in on just about anything.

Is my blog going anywhere? NO. This week I have been working hard on a couple projects. I will post a little later today about those...

Happy belated 4th!!!
