The habit of blogging

La Shawn Barber wants to know:

1) How long have you been blogging?
About two years now, starting at the now-defunct Catholic Bookshelf. I began MM in April, 2003.

2) Do you believe you’re addicted to blogging? Please explain, and be honest.
I can quit any time I want to — Seriously, not really. Aside from the music, I actually post relatively little, and I don’t feel any compulsion to put something online every single day.

3) Have you ever taken a hiatus? If so, for what reason and how long?
Not formally, though there are occasionally weeks in which there’s nothing but the tunes of the day.

4) Have you ever thought of giving up your blog? Why or why not?
Not seriously. Although transcribing and arranging the MIDI tunes can be a nuisance when offline life is frantic, maintaining the weblog is not particularly onerous, and it’s a handy place to put interesting links. A more important reason: I think of the bloggers with whom I exchange links and comments as friends and I enjoy their virtual company.
