Forcing myself to write on this blog every day obliges me, each morning, to look around and wrack my brain for something to write about.

Daily blogging under constant review
When I started writing a blog post on this blog a few years ago it was with a view to becoming a better writer from the act of repetition and practice. Over time other benefits became apparent.
