I’m addicted to analytics, but in a good way?
When I set up my blog, I hoped that it would give me a motivation boost to write more. I hoped that putting my writing out to the public, and maybe having someone accidentally read one of my posts, would encourage me.
I will admit, I visit the analytics page of my blog at least once a day. Maybe it's not the healthiest thing to do, but I do it. I do it because knowing that someone is reading my new post excites me. It makes me feel that there is a point to writing a blog instead of writing to my hard-disk.
I try to make writing a habit, but a huge part of it is you who are reading it. The sense of community is what makes my writing habit the strongest.
