You work hard all day. Why spend time on a blog?
When I was in college, I was torn between business and writing. I chose business, and now I get burned out on writing business propaganda, so the blog is my outlet.

I write about the nuances I see as I travel. After my first real, official British football match, I wrote about the differences between the American and British cultures.

It’s not a diary; I don’t just write about anything. I go for quality. I can take two or three days to write a little post. Some blogs get updated a lot, but it’s stuff like, “I just had a cookie” or “I just went to the bathroom.” That’s too much.
