Why did I stop writing the blog? Mostly because no-one was reading! I thought I was immune to the idea that an audience wasn't necessarily important. However, I realised that, although the size of the audience didn't matter, the interest and engagement of readers did matter.
I have no connection to the field of (mass) housing design and architecture, but I loved to read books and research papers on the topic.
By the way, it's true what they say: if you can write down what you've learnt (or think you have absorbed from reading) you'll not only remember it more firmly, but you'll understand it more deeply too. And you'll be able to talk about that subject with much more confidence.
