Creating a blog - why do it

I was thinking about why I was so excited to start this blog. Part of it is artistic, part psychological. The artistic is the chance to create something beautiful - well maybe it's mostly psychological - I want to be able to create a piece of work - that hopefully has some aesthetic appeal - that lets me see what really is most important in my life right now. If I'm making a statement about something for someone else(s), then I want it to be accurate, so I have to feel what that is. That's beautiful to me. Also I find the arrangement of words and ideas, together with design, aesthetically and spiritually compelling. Also I have an insatiable compulsion to communicate. That's all.
