... because they are interesting, often insights into the writing process. I probably read yours and Elizabeth Moon's Paksworld blog more than others who I dip into. Often I read for the comments of commenters - paksworld blog has an array of characters who speculate and are very often hugely entertaining.
Your blog rarely fails to amuse, I love the way the words manage to communicate mood and often I 'hear' the words - I love the snippets and tales of the cats.
To be worth reading a blog has to be regular - I get bored of looking and finding nothing new (maybe I could get software to tell me when something new but I'm lazy), and it has to have a great community of contributors - they make the blog as much as the author - hence Liaden universe or Paksworld both have people who I suspect in their dreams live in those universes. Their thoughts and comments are wonderful.
Reverse question - why do YOU write the blog, and what do you get from it?
