I’m An Addict, My Name Is Herb

I’m an addict. Not to drugs or alcohol, but to writing. Like all addictions, it started innocently. I just started opining on my blog. Soon, I had delusions that I could make a difference. Be a communicator. While I still maintain my blog, I mostly do it because of the cutbacks at the Spokesman-review. Also I do it because so many snow birds tell me it’s their link to the community during the winter/ S&S Herb , Bay Views. More here.

Question (for citizen journalists): Why do you blog or comment on blogs?
