Opinion Thursday: Blogging everyday

The January 31, 2013 prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  is
It's Opinion Thursday. What's your opinion about blogging every day? Is it really necessary or are there other things that keep you writing?
Thank you, Wordsmitty ✍️

This afternoon (January 31, 2013) blogging keeps me writing. I'm tired. I spent the morning having a mammogram and knee x-rays. I'm presuming the mammogram will show nothing despite the fact that a few years ago I did have a lump (the doctor found it, but I never felt anything); it showed up as a shadow on a mammogram and it appeared on an ultrasound, but the last mammogram I had showed nothing.

I don't know what the knee x-ray will show. I'm not going to worry about it because the only thing I can do, until I see my doctor. Is take pain pill for the pain and hope the knee doesn't go out of joint while I'm walking across a parking lot. As I was saying, this afternoon if I didn't have to make blog entries I probably wouldn't write. I have to post a poem, but since it's already written it doesn't count for today.

When I'm not tired and trying to avoid falling asleep at the keyboard, I don't need blogging to write everyday. However; blogging everyday keeps my muse awake. It also help me keep a positive attitude. There are other advantages to blogging every day, in fact there are too many of them to list in this entry.
