Blogging, it seems, has now become a yearly ritual for me. Come 1st January and somehow I manage to get my writing cap on and type out a few hundred words to post on the blog, which I am not even sure anyone reads anymore. But what is writing, if not shouting into the void in the hope that someone somewhere is going to read what you have written and maybe, just maybe, like it.

Back From A Break!
Well, calling it a break would be misleading because it has been more than 15 months since I have posted anything on the blog. Almost a year and a half. It was more of a stop than a break.
Calling it “coming back” now is also misleading as it can’t be called that until I become regular at posting here, which I intend to do.

Blogging (Writing) Tips from Seth Godin’s Blog!
I don’t remember the exact number, but I have been following Seth Godin’s blog for a few years now. He has a blog that breaks a few rules of blogging – the blog is hosted on typepad and does not have comments enabled – yet his blog’s twitter account has more than 500 thousand followers. I am sure most of us would be happy with one third of that number.I have often wondered what it is that makes his blog work, and I have come up with a few things that he does that make people fall in love with his blog. I think these can be used by bloggers, and writers alike to improve their craft.

Do you know of an interesting blog about Writing, Creativity, or Inspiration?
If you have been blogging for any length of time, I am sure you must have used a blog surfing website like Blogexplosion or Entrecard.
