[...] children, right? Plus, I really do believe blogging is both valid and valuable (perhaps especially for homeschoolers). I may have mentioned before that I spent two years working for a NCLB-funded grant initiative [...]

great post, I agreed with all of it and was nodding my head at the parts about community building, saving your sanity and keeping your brain from turning to mush. I think the last one is my biggest reason for blogging, it’s my only creative outlet right now in this very busy season of my life.

I agree with everything you have here. I’ve been blogging for five years. I enjoy looking back at old pictures and thoughts I’ve had. Sometimes it makes me smile; other times I cringe.

Avoidance of mush is possibly one of my biggest motivators to blog. I have a MA in professional writing/editing and a respectable curriculum vitae, yet now that I’ve had baby #3, I find it difficult to eke out any creativity — I’ve taken a hiatus from freelancing because I just can’t DO it right now. Blogging at least keeps that part of my brain active enough that I’m not completely losing it whilst those mothering hormones are running rampant through my body!

I have only recently started blogging on a regular basis…my brain was turning to mush. It has been fun trying to find some creativity hidden in my brain somewhere.

I agree with all of it, but especially the last point. Forcing our brains to craft a piece of writing, no matter how unpolished, is a Good Thing.
