funylon··on Why Bother?
Your thoughts on private journaling instead? It frees that stuff from your head and it doesn't need to be anywhere close to as polished as preparing the stuff for an audience. So you have a TON of time to do more. I liken it to personal programming projects. Working out the logic is the constant. The wasted time in preparing it for others is code optimization and readability, testing testing testing, etc.
