Now!

Thank you Deana! I visited your site http://deanaohara.com/ and you are going great there!
I liked your description of your use of a blog very much too in your comment to me.
As for learning, the day we stop learning we might as well give in to the couch and a bag of chips. Life without learning is not creativity in motion. That's the way I feel about what our real purpose is.
Cheers and you might want to join my group on twitter @thecalvenigroup for writers and publishers at the intersection of technology. Trying to find a better way for all and there are many voices there. Pass this along to someone you care about enough to share this blog here by Michael Hyatt as well.

Well we have something in common with respect to writing. You have written for the internet and thus what you have learned is a certain wisdom that only comes with someone who is passionate about what they do.
For me I am a diarist and have been since a very young age. Although I have been on the internet for 5 years or so and have had several blogs I was never ever comfortable with writing online. But I am keeping a journal.
What I have learned about being a diarist is similar with respect to no.1 in your post. However keeping a journal [see http://www.moleskinerie.com/2008/04/the-notebooks... ] all these years makes writing easy for me just as blogging has for you.
I share this with you because I think both are important for writers over the long term with surprising results. Don't you agree?
