All But Discipline

I was in the habit of blogging *every day* at Organic.  Yesterday my wife asked me if I might enjoy blogging more regularly again, and I found myself making the following excuses:

(1) No one blogs anymore, all the conversation has switched to Twitter.

(2) It’s too late to start a new blog.  Either you have a readership today, or you don’t.

I think there’s some truth to both statements, but I think I forgetting a major benefit beyond getting famous: it’s a great discipline to take the thoughts floating around in my head over a 24 hour period and try to turn them into something articulate.

Onward!
