Why be a blogger?

“I blog because I find it a form of community and am obsessed with daily writing. It helps me separate what is important, versus the same old stuff I do every day. I actually learn more about the world through the research I do in order to post a blog entry. Also, down deep, part of me doesn’t believe I actually have a life. I prove to myself with a blog that I do indeed have a life – a rich and full one.”

This quote – from a 70-year old female blogger in the USA – captures some of the reason why i blog. It comes from an article about older women who blog written by Natalie d’Arbeloff who blogs here.
