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 your blog in several venues. I read John Scalzi as well.
As another poster said, I like the way you right, and I appreciate insights into the glamour! of the writing life. It's helped me to understand just how damn much work it takes to be a writer. And it helps me to realize how hard it is to write engaging prose.

Yours is my favorite. The snippets are wonderful treats -- even with the full understanding that a particular snippet may not find it's way into the pages of a book. I like the advance notice on your plans. I like your Ability To Capitalize to drive home a point. That makes me laugh frequently. And, because you are my favorite author, bar none, I like the fact that I can, on some level, call you friend.
