I am thinking about doing a tea blog, but the thought of persisting

For the tea bloggers participating in this forum - Marshall, SN,
Dominic, Phil ... and all those I have missed - how do you blog your
way through? I mean, isn't it hard work to do it day after day after
day...

How much time do you spend doing it? What keeps you motivated?

Any advice given will be much appreciated.

Good question... I have worked as a writer, so I just enjoy writing. I
especially enjoy writing when I don't have to worry about perfect
style and editors. I like to just throw the words out there in a
manner that fits me and my personality. If 2 people read what I wrote,
then I'm happy.

There is no real motivation or "benefit" for the time and effort
beyond what you personally get from it. I always hate tea reviews on
the sites I am buying tea from because they are anonymous and have no
frame of reference. I figured I could throw out my own reviews, along
with other misc. topics, so people have that frame of reference and
can then know a bit more about the review and the reviewer to base
their decision on. When I'm looking for a review online for any topic
that is what I tend to like finding, and I figure there has to be at
least one other person like that out there... so for that person I've
made http://teasphere.wordpress.com

I've been lax in my updates... I'll try for one today.
