I love to read and will read just about anything. I ran across this website on  mystery writers. I found this article about Arthur Conan Doyle. He wrote the books on Sherlock Holmes. It had background on why Doyle started writing. He was actually a medical student and started writing in his spare time for relaxation. I think that is how bloggers get started. They start small for relaxation and end up writing blogs that everyone follows. They find that they are great writers. Doyle even got tired of Holmes and Watson and killed off Holmes only to bring him back. This article about Doyle was really interesting.
