Blogging is not compulsive its natural, every blogger need not be a good writer.Blogger should be able to convey his thoughts to the readers, the thing which matters most in blogs is how good a person is in terms of expressing his thought. Compulsive blogging doesn't never yield desired result, its always natural instinct of blogger which yield good result.
