Why i blog

Eugene Cho’s post, “…why i blog” has stimulated much reflection and thought. Why do I blog? Good question. I’m not always sure. On thing is certain—my answer is not composed in the static. It’s a dynamic that is constantly changing. Maybe that’s why I have stopped and started blogging three different times in the last seven years.

Here’s my answer for “why I blog“— today.

I’m a writer. And writers are unique among creative types because writers alone believe that the world really needs to hear what they have to say. Painters, sculptors, poets and other artists don’t suffer this illusion.

Another reason I blog is my desire to participate in creating a world in which nobody owns, everybody can use, and anybody can improve. That’s the long-term goal of everything I write. I want to make the world a better place.

Now, ask me again in a year and I can almost assure you that my reasons will change. Possibly the change will be so demanding that my conscious won’t allow me to post on a blog.
