Does blogging help your creatvity or articulation of your thoughts.

Thanks to paul Shoesmith a colleague of mine at Becta for invoking this thought. I used ananlogy of exocets refering to 25 anniversary of the Falklands war in a staff meeting this morning . Paul afterwards why is it you bloggers think of such good analogy's is he right does blogging improve your articulation of thoughts I think he is.

I have always thought of myself as non writing person and my spelling grammar is dreadful but blogging has made me think more !!
