I've actually got a new ebook out since I wrote this one (will update the post to mention that): <a href="http://www.bloggersguidetoeffectivewriting.com" rel="nofollow">The Blogger's Guide to Effective Writing</a>. And hope you do stick around. :-) Hilary, great to have you here too! And what a great start to a blog for you. I've read some great books and poems based around terminally ill relatives (Blake Morrison's memoir "And When Did You Last See Your Father" and Sharon Old's poetry collection "The Father" come to mind), but never a blog. It sounds like a very interesting place to start. Good luck with it! Stephanie, glad you found your way over here, and so glad it was an inspiring piece!

I’ve just come over from Mary Jaksch’s blog Write to Done .. and am really interested how you selected your blog type as such. I too needed to find an outlet – and mine came about from the letters I’d been writing out to friends and family regarding my terminally ill mother – it’s been a very interesting experience – and I obviously made my letters interesting and positive – hence PLs – it just allows me to explore history, ideas etc that I knew very little about and mixing and matching ideas. The writing isn’t perfect - I know that – but in due time I can sort it – for now it’s a crucial foundation for the future. The web offers so many opportunities. I agree that we meet some people who we really connect with and who will be around with us for the time ahead. Your descriptive sentence of what you’re about – makes absolute sense .. thanks. I’ll look at the Staff Blogging Course anon – good to be here – all the best for 2010 - & yes I do like this post .. thanks Hilary Hi Ali ..

That's a *great* reason to blog, and I think it's similar to my own. Yes, there's a lot of great information out there ... but things can always be expressed in a new and fresh way, or from an unexpected angle. Hope you enjoy the future posts! :-) Thanks for coming on by Raam, and especial thanks for commenting! That’s a *great* reason to blog, and I think it’s similar to my own.

I loved reading this post about why you blog. I started in much the same way as you and was also drawn to blogging because of my love for computers and writing (we have software development in common too!). I'm still searching for my blogging voice and when I realized that there is so much information already written on practically every topic, I asked myself, "Why should we write?". After some thought, I came up with this answer: <strong>Write to provide perspective insight.</strong> There may be information on practically every topic out there on the net, but one thing that's impossible to replicate is our uniquely individual perspective -- no one can write from <em>our</em> point of view. Anyhow, I just thought I'd share that thought. :) I look forward to your future posts! .-= Raam Dev´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RaamDevsWeblog/~3/e1ZfFush_eY/what-the-hell-am-i-doing" rel="nofollow">What the hell am I doing?</a> =-.
