Saturday morning's idle question

[rolanni]

If you're reader of this blog (by which I mean either Eagles Over the Kennebec, on LJ, or The Blog Without a Name, at sharonleewriter.com), you obviously read at least one author's blog.

My question to you today is:  Why?

Why do you read writer's blogs?

. . .and, Special Bonus Question:

Of the author blogs that you do read, which is your favorite -- and why?

Have at it.

I read writer's blogs because they are writers. Usually, but not necessarily because they are writing about the writing process and about what they are writing and the status and progress of a book from birth to when I can get it.

Favorites is hard though, and not really a question that has one answer.

I don't read John Scalzi's "Whatever" because he happens to be a writer I like, although I do like his books.

Robin McKinley on the other hand I read because of her voice, but it isn't a type of thing it's her.

Diana Gabaldon I read/follow for snippets.

I do like "knowing" some writers. (Other writers I'm just as happy not knowing.)
