Well, it’s official – I’ve got the badge.

Now I’d better keep on blogging. Inspired by Alan’s plugin I started to think of quotes about writing that I could use to explain why I blog and my thoughts turned, as ever, to Laurel Richardson.

“I [blog] because I want to find something out. I [blog] in order to learn something that I did not know before I [blogged] it. I was taught, however, as perhaps you were, too, not to [blog] until I knew what I wanted to say, until my points were organized and outlined.” (Richardson, 2000, p. 924)

And then I remembered a passage from Virginia Woolf – how perfect is this?

“So long as you [blog] what you wish to [blog], that is all that matters; and whether it matters for ages or only for hours, nobody can say.”
Virginia Woolf, A [Blog] of One’s Own.
