Why blog? Blogging is akin to a
writer sending his brain for a
workout down the gym, keeping the
grey matter in trim ready for the day when its owner decides to sit down and continue with his main writing project. Whereas a post for one's blog can take mere minutes to compose and write, the very act of writing allows the mind to tick over and exercise it in the machinations of composing sentences, prose and plot lines (and drivel sometimes!).
The brain needs activity just as the rest of a person's body needs exercise to remain healthy. In my view, writing a blog keeps the synapses in the brain active and ensures that these electrical connections keep firing at the optimum level.

| Read my book...it's a good read! |
Family life can get in the way of a writer's desire to sit down and add to their manuscript, as this activity can take up several hours of the aspiring author's time (writer's block notwithstanding). The pressures of home life, everyday living and having a real job cut into the quality time a writer needs to devote to their book/screenplay. So, until your
time management provides a viable window of opportunity in which to sit down and add to the magnum opus clogging up your hard drive, a few minutes spent blogging will keep your brain active, alert and focused ready to spring into action when the time is right to crack on with that best-seller.
