Loving blogging

Well, I don't really hate it

Why I hate blogging is not exactly and inviting post to have on your blog. So here’s something more positive: why I love it. Well, maybe love is a little strong. Let’s stay with like.

1. Writing is thinking. I’m a great believer in that. So when I write about something in a different way (blogging it), I’m thinking about it in a different way too. That’s a good thing.

2. True, I don’t know who’s reading this. And that is uncomfortable. But all communication involves a degree of risk. You can stand in the dark corner of the disco looking aloof and interesting, but nobody’s going to talk to you. (I tried it). I’ve made connections I didn’t expect to. Also a good thing, mostly.

3. Er, when I’m on the train to London and forget to pick up the newspaper (like today) I can blog instead.
