NOTE TO SELF - on starting a blog

Self, why am I starting a blog/online journal?


I have been meaning to start a blog for ages. I've researched it, intended it and then started a few, only to delete them a short while later. I imagine this is common. I've read many blogs on starting blogs and I generally a firm believer on consulting research.

These are my top reasons/intentions

(1) Discipline and Accountability - forcing myself to record and publish my design process is good design practice

(2) Communication - nothing like forcing one self to put thoughts into words that you then put out into the world. So far I'm finding it as hard as I thought it would be!

(3) Inspiration - I love a good blog. Blogs inspire me. I want to be part of that in some way.

(4) Feedback - at least the opportunity for feedback should anyone read said blog

(5) Fame and fortune (of course)
