The first one

Q: How long does it take one to start a blog?
A: A couple of minutes on blogspot.com in general, a couple of years if you are me!

Well finally I have a blog, after my cousin remarked that it improves ones creative writing. I'm only here to test the hypothesis. I already think that it might be true, after all I never thought I could start a column (or a blog, for that matter) with a Q and A! General survey question to anyone who, having nothing better to do, or alternately, having some pity on me, finds him/herself reading this excuse for a blog - does blogging improve your creative writing?
