Joe, the competitive element helps keep me writing....

Plus the fact that there are people who read my stuff.

When you read articles on writing, the most common advice is for writers to actual take the time to WRITE-to find a regular routine. For me, being involved in a competitive environment like Blogit, it encourages members to write on a regular basis. Somehow, it's a support group (without being so vocal about being one).

Offbeats, I agree with you there.

We do have many talented writers here. And on any given issue, we can find someone who can give us a new and interesting perspective.

I believe it has been productive for me. One thing that means a lot is the feed back...there is such a vast talent level here, and the neighbor hood for the most part is very supportive despite the issue!

Telly,

Good point. If we don't practise.....  No problem, I learned from what I read.

Genius, I have to admit that I enjoy the feedback as well.
That has been good for me. Plus I like getting other people's perspectives on all sorts of stuff...

Discipline. By keeping an online journal (and having friends who nag me to update regularly), I at least have an opportunity to write _something_ every day, whether I have anything or not. Great idea you have here (and thank you for hitting my reviews).

It's the constant feedback...
I like when people leave comments disagreeing with something i've said or play ideas off of mine.

Thanks Quirky,
I think the support and encouragement does wonders for all of us.

Well...it has helped motivate me to establish a consistent writing period, and then there is the support element, if I have a problem I know someone is bound to have a good idea for a solution...
