I blog for a number of reasons. Some days one is more important than another.
1. I want to share and hubby can only smile for so long.
2. I need to go over what I'm doing, steps etc and where to go next. Writing it down helps me organize my thoughts.
3. I include photo because I can look at THEM objectively more than I can the piece I'm working on. (If that makes sense)
4. I get my thoughts in order to be able to share and teach techniques.
5. I don't feel my days is complete without analyzing my progress.
6. I blog for ME. It/s a diary!
I don't solicit adds even though they promise a kickback. I feel that's a bit underhanded when people just want to see what you're doing today. It's so hard to find sights without really annoying pop ups!
Hope that gives you some incite about why I blog. Other people may have different reasons.
I just like to feel connected to other artists.
