The Addiction of Blogging
Written by: John
I must admit that I’m addicted to blogging. I know, I’ve probably said it before, but it’s truer today than ever before. Sure, sometimes I don’t get around to updating my blog. What can I say? I am working at a job where we are moving into a new building, I’m doing my masters degree, I have 2 kids and I have a zillion other web projects going on too. However, that doesn’t mean that my heart isn’t in blogging.
In fact, the interesting thing is that when I go through the day about 2 times per day (on average) my mind will start writing a blog post. It’s like I’m writing a blog post of the experience in my head. I know that’s weird, but it’s what happens. It could be something that’s said on the radio or possibly something that happens at work. Oh yeah, and my kids often have me saying, “That would be a good blog post.”
Honestly, I don’t need to call home and talk to my wife to see how she’s doing. I can just pull up our family blog and find out how her day is going. It’s usually a pretty good indication of our state of being. If I view our blog and don’t see any posts. Then, I know I better get home quick. Things haven’t been tame enough for her to blog. Not a good sign.

I write posts in my head all the time. I think about the style I might use, the structure or perhaps just what elements of the thing I’m going to write about I want to use. It’s actually pretty normal - its how writers think.
Wow! I still think it’s crazy to think of myself as a writer when I hated English throughout school. In fact, I hated it so much that I never really took an English class in college.
