Why I blog

Posted by stuart as

Thanks Empress for the tag, and yes, I’m starting to feel a little better!

So, the question is, why do I blog. This is actually quite difficult to answer, as I’ve been what could be called a “Non blogging blogger” over the last couple of months, but in the true Aussie spirit, I’ll give it a crack!

1. Money, although my most active blogs make me the least money, so maybe I need to rethink my strategy.
2. I like the friends I’ve made since I’ve been blogging. Leaving comments, and even moreso, receiving comments on my blogs is a very rewarding experience.
3. I love to write, I’m one of those millions of untalented hacks who believe that “I have a great novel in me!”. Problem is, I’m a lazy bastard, and it’s much easier to pound out a five-hundred word blog post than a 100,000 word novel.
4. It keeps my brain active. Having taken on the role of a stay at home dad for the last couple of years, it’s nice to give the grey matter a workout once in a while.
5. Did I mention the money thing?
