Words to live by

Alberta is celebrating Arts Days, and as part of the festivities, my community - Onoway has some events planned on Saturday October 1. I am participating by giving a blogging workshop at the Onoway Public Library from 10 to 11:15 a.m.

I have been thinking about reasons to blog this week. What is it that blogging provides? Is it the adrenaline rush of fear that someone will give a negative comment when you press "publish post"? Is it the satisfaction from sharing? Is it pure self motivation?

Jennifer M. shared a great quote this morning which could be a reason for blogging:

Don't raise your voice, improve your argument. Desmond Tutu

Writing Mojo

There is an interesting post on the Socialite Librarian blog about her loss of writing mojo.

What is your inspriation for relevant, frequent writing?

From the frequency of posts at this blog, I am suffering from the Socialite's syndrome, though I do meet my community obligations at Slaw.ca and Slaw Tips.

Perhaps treating writing as more of a community responsibility is the key to frequent blog posts. What motivates you?
