Why write blog?

I always wanted to write. I started off at a very early age by writing short stories and later on articles and essays on various topics. I sent few to newspapers but though none got published, I gained big satisfaction in doing so. Later I wrote a few blogs here and there but not anything too serious; I was too busy with school and less serious about things in general. But lately this passion to write got rekindled in me, I think probably because of the revival of my reading habit.

I think there is a good correlation between reading and writing. Reading more encourages me to write something on my own. Writing something on my own encourages me to read more. I think I begin to see why I lost my passion to write...because I had been reading less. Too much TV and movies and music and internet affected my reading habit.

Nowadays I've been reading a lot. Books, online articles, blogs and I've been commenting on many web articles. I noticed that many were interested by my comments and views, and it interested me much to read their replies and reply them. But I realized that all those views, comments and replies that I contributed were scattered all over the web world and there is no way I can go back to find those or lead people in to reading my views. Then I realized I need a blog. A blog where I can write my views, let others read and comment and I can reply, and I can always go back to read all that. This is why I am here, writing in this page. I am very excited about the articles I plan to write and the various topics I plan to discuss. I think this is so healthy for my mind, and so normal-to read and write...express myself freely. Watching TV, movies or music or playing games are all objective, but writing is so subjective, something that is of me, that comes out from me. I am very excited.
