Why am I writing?

I've been an intermittent blogger. I enjoy writing. But I'm not one of those people who truly have the bug to write every day.

The time that I was writing online on a daily basis was when I was an at-home parent with a young toddler. I didn't get out much. Had limited social interaction. Blogging was a social and creative outlet between diaper changes and playing on the floor with an 18 month old.

Fast forward several years.

My kids are in 3rd and 6th grade. They talk up a storm. Often, it's very enlightening and enriching conversations. (Other times it's about Taylor Swift.)

I'm working out of the home now. My work is largely writing. (Grant proposals.)

But perhaps it would do me well to park myself down somewhere and write for myself and anyone else who happens on by.

What's the harm?
