The best quote about blogging I have seen so far is :
Blogging is hard because of the grind required to stay interesting and relevant. (Sufia Tippu)
It's really a question worth million words and clicks and yet not easy to answer with an appealing justification whether blogging is an addiction or a passion.
It is simply a futile exercise without being fueled with a passion. Creating blog(s) merely to show your presence on internet or letting your friends and acquaintances know that you are also a part of the vast blogosphere does not make it worthwhile. In this case it may end up either as abandoned or become a nasty addiction difficult to get rid of.
Blogging could be for making money or for personal and family musings.
To me, it is almost impossible that blogging becomes addiction because staying interesting and relevant forever is not that easy a task. It requires avid reading, observing your surroundings, practicing writing, thinking creatively and sparing time to remain connected with your audience or visitors who like you to keep communicating with them.
All these activities do not amount to addiction.
So, if you are already blogging, there is no need to preach you about how to blog and what to write. Nevertheless, if you are thinking about creating a blog, then you have to be obsessed with a subject of your interest that could be shared with others. You will have to do a lot net browsing, visiting blogs and keeping a fire kindled deep inside your own intellectual self.
The tone of your blog and the frequency of your posts would determine whether you have succeeded in achieving your goal of expressing your emotions and thoughts to others or not.
