Why Blog?

Why do you blog?

I blog for several reasons. Doing a daily blog means I do a little writing each day. It’s like exercising or stretching—keeping up that daily routine maintains a sharper mind. Or so I tell myself. Now if I could just get into exercising or stretching daily! (I do get a 2 mile walk in when I can, but it daily, unfortunately.

I also blog to get ideas out into the world. Sometimes many of us feel isolated, that no one’s really listening. A blog can be a dear diary of sorts, to express things we might not ordinarily say, or have a chance to say, to someone else.

My blog also allows me to express myself creatively. Whether it’s through a short story format, or perhaps a way to advertise other things I am doing (like the poetry reading videos I’ve been putting on my YouTube channel StoryZStudios), this is an excellent outlet for those creative impulses.

Do you blog, and if so why? Please share your reasons.

I hope those who follow me are actually reading these entries. Let me know if you are, and please like and follow in any case.
