Blogging gives me the freedom to say whatever I want without worrying about an editor’s perspective, which I love. I also find it relaxing, and it gives me an immediate sense of accomplishment.

And, regarding whether something’s already been said: your reader may need to hear it the way you say it, or you may post it at the perfect time — when the reader needs to hear it again. So, I’m not held back by whether it’s been said before….but I do try to be as helpful as possible to my readers.

Thanks for this post – it may have been said before, but it struck me in a whole new way! :-)
