Blogger Question: How do you keep posting?

I was going to title this post, Blogger Question: How do you keep it up?, but I thought that would invite a lot of questions I just didn't want to even go near.

What makes you post?  I guess the real question should be, Why do you blog?

Me?  I blog for therapy.  I blog to share something cool.  I sometimes even blog some uber techie stuff that no one but me understands.

Why do I feel guilty when I don't blog?  Should I blog, just to keep myself writing?  Sometimes I think so, sometimes not.  I wish I could take more time to blog more indepth, but the spits and spurts of time that I do have to sit and blog are few and far between.  I have been writing some random thoughts that seem to be coming together into coherent thoughts and doing a little each day, and I think that's the key.  Even if I just write a paragraph that isn't related to the story, but is something that's bouncing around in my head, I can usually tie it in somewhere, but it's kept me writing.

That's the real key I guess to writing stories, just shut up and write.  Blogging is different.  I'm not like Dooce who I can't believe lives that much stuff in each and every day, tho having watched some of her home movies, she might just be that wacky/cool.  I guess I'm just jealous.  I'd love to generate more than 100 visits a day, tho that's 100 more than zero, right?

Speaking of which - why are you here?  I always wonder why people read my random whining.  I know Mike's here to rub in the fact that his team is doing a whole lot better than mine right now.  I'm curious to see why people read my stuff, and how they got here in the first place.
