The Satisfaction of Blogging

One of my friends, a regular reader of my blog, remarked in her mail to me: The satisfaction from reading an original piece of writing/poem is as much as that from writing an original working piece of code; sometimes much more.

Interesting thought! But having had to contend with the dichotomous pursuits of writing pages of codes and inditing pages of odes (!) in the past four months, I feel urged to add a small thought that emerged from the writer's perspective. When a code works it works. Period. You find the satisfaction of a job done successfully for the day. You are reasonably happy with yourself. And you think no more about it. But, as a writer, while writing (blogging) is satisfying as an activity in itself, it leaves you with just those teeny weeny butterflies in your stomach. You open your blogspot every day, biting your nails, hoping to find an increment in the Comments counter, hoping against hope that you have been able to connect with the reader...
