Hi and welcome to my blog! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and do come back.

I just read Sessa’s post and thought that I should compile my own response to his disdain for blogging. Here goes:

1. I am a writer by nature and blogging is my outlet.
2. Blogging has put me in touch with brilliant people and I am hoping there are still more.
3. I love to engage in debate and get people riled up.
4. I am earning enough money from blogging to warrant my blogs continuation.
5. Blogging got me to where I am today so I am loyal to the practice.
6. Reading blogs is one thing, I like to comment on blogs and people’s opinions.
7. Many of the most popular blogs in SA are hogswash and I think that is about to change.

Stefano makes some great points and I think his seventh point is particularly interesting. However I maintain that blogging is not for everyone and is an extremely personal choice that one needs to make.

For me it has become a lifestyle, sometimes it’s more tough than others but on the whole I can’t not blog.
