I’ve been tagged by danahinders to give five reasons why I blog, so here goes:
Reasons For Blogging
- I started blogging because I heard it was a good way to bring traffic to your site. That worked well, though it took longer than I thought.
- Then I found WritingUp and fell in love with the community aspect of blogging. At that point I no longer cared about traffic, I was just having fun.
- I also blog because it’s like an online portfolio, which I have used to show my writing ability to various people.
- Blogging is a good way of fostering creativity - and of taking a break when I’m mentally exhausted
- I blog because I get to write in my own voice – which is nice for a change after a day of ghostwriting.

Whose turn next? How about Inklings, kohuether and merryone?
