I should quickly write down this post before I lose the urge to write. That is how I feel now. This has happened several times before. If I fail to write, then I would feel like I did not do something this week. It would turn into a habit. A bad one.

I don’t like bad habits.

Don’t let the title be misleading. This blog post is not about not telling you not to blog. To the contrary, its about letting you know that you absolutely must blog. Beginning this instant.

Sometimes, you may feel like you should drop the whole idea of blogging all together. Why ? Because its alot of fr**ing work. However when I did think of not blogging, I remembered all the other reasons which made me start in the first place.

It wasn’t about being famous. Neither was it about showing that I knew how to write well.(I consider my brother to be a better writer than I am)

To me it was about helping other people on the web ,(particularly programmers) for others have helped me out by their posts. Even though they never even knew it. Thanks to all of them, people like Mkyong, David Walsh, and etc. They are too many to mention, otherwise i would never finish this post.

It was also about being able to help generate good content for startups, and other causes I am a part of. As a programmer there are complementary skills which aid me. And being a good writer is one of them. For example in giving a description of my product on the play store, that takes some imagination, as well as some thought so that the user knows the message you intend to convey.

I have kept my writing creativity just sharp enough. I liked to write. And that was before I realized I also liked writing code too. Ever since then my code repository has grown much bigger than my articles and blog posts.

Now i know i could never exhaust the list of reasons to blog because their are so many that i would be cruel to say i could ever list them all.

Wow, look at how time flies . It seems like only yesterday I started my blogspot account. That is where I actively started blogging. That is from 2010. Just make a habit of writing something you are passionate about at least once a week.

Don’t limit yourself to only posting on a website. Share it on social media. Write about whatever you want. an empty paper is your creative playground. Write only the good stuff though, nothing malicious or hateful.

And for the love of God don’t come with the excuse i have no time to blog. I had a nice time blogging( chatting ) with you.

I will catch you again next week here.( God willing) until then blog away.

Best regards.
