An argument for blogging

Why blog?

Because I type faster than I write and I often have trouble reading my own writing.

So that my family, who live much too far away, will still know my random (and deeply profound) thoughts.

Because keeping a journal is important for a number of reasons, especially for an artist, and a lot of my inspiration these days comes via the internet. It's so easy to copy and paste. I will, however, have to keep a physical sketchbook.

Some time ago I read on someone's blog that she had lost everything on her computer when her hard drive had failed, including all of her photos. She was very thankful that she at least had her blog with the pictures she has posted to it.
