Approximately 110 bloggers signed up to the Blaugust: Festival of Blogging this year. 60 of those were new to the event. They were either just starting out on their blogging adventures or trying to revitalise their existing activities. I fell into the latter group as I decided to use this yearly activity as a means to return to writing regularly, after a nine month absence. 31 days later I think the event has been a learning process and a voyage of self discovery for a lot of people, myself included. No matter how well you extol the virtues and merits of writing online, you cannot get away from the fundamental facts that it requires a commitment to write and that it will eat into your leisure time. Many people have a genuine urge to write but just get hamstrung by the finite nature of their free time. That is not a personal failure. It is just the nature of modern life. Therefore, if you just managed to get one post published over the last month, then well done. It’s 100% better than none.
