Since I spend a great deal of time reading and reviewing books, I already have a preconceived idea in my mind what I'm going to put down on paper. This approach lessens the chance of developing "writer's block." Very rarely does the blank sheet of paper remain blank for long - unless I'm procrastinating putting the words to paper. Unlike alot of people who can't write without background noise, I need it from time to time. Background noise is not just listening to music or the radio, but surfing the web, reading e-mail, and watching movies.

At this point, I'm not completely convinced about the value of del.icio.us other than the ability to share bookmarks with others, but you can do that as a moderator of a blog or as a member of a news group, MySpace, or Facebook. IMHO, none of the content being shared on del.icio.us was particularly interesting or useful.
