Where do you find the time to blog?
InternetA common question I’m asked is why do you overuse passive voice? The second is in the title. Blogging fills two purposes for me:
-
It’s an idea dump. I understand and think through concepts and problems easier if I have to explain them, and text is the easiest way I can.
-
It’s a cathartic hobby. I enjoy sitting at cafés and writing; either this, technical documentation, or fiction that may (not) ever see the light.
So it’s not a question of finding time, it’s how I’d function if I didn’t.
(I mostly write posts within minutes, so it’s also not especially time consuming. I may also cheat and write a series of posts which are published over a week if I know I’ll be especially busy at work. But you didn’t read any of that).
