Why I Blog

I’m paid to write for other people. 

The writing in my blog is for me … it’s inexpensive therapy and It’s a good way to:

• EXERCISE my writing muscle (e.g., a post I wrote about sitting in a café in Amsterdam).
  
  
  
• EXPLORE things I’m curious about (e.g., a post I wrote about the working titles of famous books that changed for publication).
  
  
  
• GIVE BACK to my community (e.g., a post I wrote about an important way of getting info for copy/content).
  
  
  
• BE NOSTALGIC about my past (e.g., a post I wrote about a business friend).
  
  
  
• GO A BIT CRAZY just for the heck of it (e.g., a post I wrote about a website posted 50 years before the internet existed).
  
  

Also, MY BLOG is a way to show clients that I write consistently and let them see recent examples beyond my portfolio, which is not updated as often.
