		<description>Greetings LaShawn - hope my reply isn&#039;t too late to be of any use to you. 

1) How long have you been blogging?

A little over a year

2) Do you believe youâ€™re addicted to blogging? Please explain, and be honest. It is habit-forming, I must confess. (If I decide to use your response, I may have follow-up questions.)

Yep, I&#039;m definitely addicted to blogging, although the addiction is waning a bit.  When I first discovered the internet I was on all the time enjoying the new toy, but later I cooled down.  Same with blogging - when I started blogging last year I was completely addicted - I was one of those who viewed all of life as something to be blogged.  I still love blogging but I think I am thinking more clearly now. 

3) Have you ever taken a hiatus? If so, for what reason and how long? 

Only for vacations. 

4) Have you ever thought of giving up your blog? Why or why not?

Nope - I&#039;m having too much fun, making too many friends and learning to much to consider giving it up.</description>

		<description>1) How long have you been blogging?
Three months. T

2) Do you believe youâ€™re addicted to blogging? 
Yes. I want to run out and say my opinions. But I&#039;ve sublimated that into running out and putting (witty) comments on other people&#039;s blogs, with links back to mine, which lets me hear myself speak and also helps generate traffic.


3) Have you ever taken a hiatus? If so, for what reason and how long? 
Nope. I used to not blog weekends, but now that i have more readers I do weekends too.

4) Have you ever thought of giving up your blog? Why or why not?
Yes, I did completely change the format from a news commentary blog to a humour blog, when I realized I was much better at that and it would be more unique. Sometimes I think &quot;what am I doing? I have nothing original to say, it&#039;s all been said and done before&quot; but then I think there is not a lot of humor for conservatives out there, and that keeps me going.</description>

		<description>1) I&#039;m approaching two years of blogging.
2) I might be addicted, because though I usually don&#039;t post often, I think about what to write all the time. I am definitely addicted to traffic and comments. High traffic can make me giddy.
3) I have not taken an official hiatus, but I have been away for holidays and vacations. 
4) Yes, because I&#039;m plagued with doubt. Why should I persist at lit-blogging when I know so little and can read and write so slowly? But I still enjoy blogging. I would blog more if I had more time to give to it. As it is, I would rather read more literature, not news. I don&#039;t read enough as it is.</description>

		<description>1) How long have you been blogging?

Less than a year. Didn´t do much until more recently, because in the beginning I actually didn´t know much of what you could do with a blog or how you interacted with other people´s blogs. And I still find it takes hours to search and find interesting blogs (downside). Blogs feel quite different than email lists, which I only do a couple.

2) Do you believe you’re addicted to blogging? Please explain, and be honest.

Yes, but it depends in part on what else you have going on in your life.  If anyone wants to pay me to do my blog editing/authoring, specially in the 100k range... plus given that my blog has nothing formally professional about it... I´ll take it immediately. As others have mentioned, you start discovering and forming endless communities, you visit with friends, you laugh, you get to make countless enemies you´ve never met in person.. a joy... :-)

3) Have you ever taken a hiatus? If so, for what reason and how long?

If I am busy with other things, travel, activities, etc.

4) Have you ever thought of giving up your blog? Why or why not?

I´ve just started, so, no thought of that now. Even though I have not written great volumes in my blog, I have seen already that my writing has improved, to my happiness. And I have just begun to get to know what´s out there in the blog world. Discovering others is as important to me as writing my own blog.</description>
