I never enforced this principle until recently.<BR/><BR/>"One thing puzzles me is when you talk about "improving"?"<BR/><BR/>I meant improving my writing. I have always had an interest in developing my writing skill even though I have done very little about it. Writing blog entries gives me an opportunity to practice (perform?) writing in small doses and thereby improve.<BR/><BR/>"My blog to me was always throwaway stuff [snip] ...but we are all different."<BR/><BR/>We evidently have different motives for blogging. I find my blog useful as a tool that lets me write in small quantities without having to rely on the traditional formats (article/essay etc.). It also gives me an opportunity to rant from time to time ;)Manoj Govindanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734036974316245850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16889165.post-62075476203616844472008-03-10T22:21:00.000+05:302008-03-10T22:21:00.000+05:30as someone who blogged for a year I would say alwa...as someone who blogged for a year I would say always write for yourself....I used to use it as a way to order my thoughts or let off steam sometimes.<BR/>I was always happy (amazed!) to receive comments but they were not my aim..<BR/>One thing puzzles me is when you talk about "improving" ?<BR/> My blog to me was always throwaway stuff whith my thoughts/interests like boats passing over the surface of my mind...but we are all different.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862893880440624911noreply@blogger.com
