I have been blogging since 2004. I have four blogs that I currently write to regularly. Many others are more like archives. Three of the active blogs are public and two of them are similar, about dancing, but in different languages, one IT related. The private blogs have been the most useful for my thinking. The active private blog has no readers at the moment. I kind of miss the period from 2004 to perhaps 2009 when there was a community around blogging. But even then I was intentionally very marginal. I have never tried to attract readers, more the opposite. There may be benefits from writing, such as publicity. But I dom’t think that is necessary a very useful motivation on the long term. It seems to me that the only reasonable reason for writing is that you have this internal urge to write, to understand whst you think. You will know what you want to write. It does not matter if people do not read it, because you are writing for yourself.
