		<description>Two weeks ago I reorganized my Reader folders into Favorites - Friends, Favorites, Agents, and Weekend. It&#039;s amazing how much I reduced stress just by doing that.</description>

		<description>I go through spurts. Last year, I got inspired to the point where I wrote about 3 months worth of blog posts and it took me until November to use them all.</description>

		<description>Granted, my blogs are mostly cover art, but I agree that writing them gives me a sense of accomplishment.  I may not be working on the &quot;N&quot; word, but at least I&#039;m still writing something.</description>

		<description>I think that the online response are more a product of how many blogs I comment at, rather than what I say.  I haven&#039;t been commenting even a third as much tese last few months, and the visits to my blog have seriously fallen off!</description>

		<description>Blogging helps my writing not by warming me up, but by making me think about the process of writing.  I think you definitely learn more by teaching a topic; and blogging/essay writing is manifestly the same thing.  

But blogging can also distract me from production.</description>

		<description>especially when I first started blogging I found it a tremendous boost to my writing productivity, especially for nonfiction.  In fact, I wrote about it in Write With fire, and some of the articles in there got their start via blogger.</description>

		<description>I still read everything you blog, Betsy! I haven&#039;t been commenting much, anymore, but I mean to start again. :-) 

I do notice that I start a lot of blog posts that I abandon, though.</description>
