		<description>One of the significant things about blogging for me, especially in the last six months, has been the discipline of (almost) daily writing. I have written far more this year than any other year by a long stretch and have still nearly three months to go. (I&#039;m on track to write over a quarter of a million words this calendar year, twice the previous best year.)

I also agree that the intellectual stimulation is very important.</description>

		<description>Thank you for the link, Trevor.

There are three main reasons I like blogging:
a. It give me the opportunity to express what I know or feel I know in the public eye.
b. The community that develops around blogs.
c. The intellectual stimulation I get from learning and seeing other people&#039;s point of view.

Thank you for what you&#039;re doing here to allow these things to happen. :-)</description>
