Some days, I think about why I have been able to continue E2TG for nearly a decade - when so many excellent blogs have ended or faded after a much short time. Besides my joke answers (stubbornness, not having an escape plan), the real answer, I think is doing it almost every day - even when I don't want to. There have been days, of course, when I wasn't able to write, but I never didn't write just because I didn't feel like it. I guess it is like other things (some good habits I need to work on) - you just put one foot in front of the other (write one blog post after another) and ten years have passed.
