In my experience, the blog writing will not be a distraction; instead, it will help create the discipline to write every day. What happens is that in an effort to find things to write about, you start getting a stockpile of ideas captured in a place. You then draw from this stockpile for your blog and then immediately start writing your next post from one of the ideas.

The “starting writing” gets you going to write more and then it becomes a habit.

It was a very interesting process to observe in myself.

So go capture some ideas for your stockpile and start writing!
