Insanabile Cacoethes Scribendi. At some point in the first phase of the Maltese blogosphere when J’accuse still sported a big lighthouse on the side and was still hosted by blogger I had blogged about the “Insanabile Cacoethes Scribendi” or the incurable urge to write that hits you when you start blogging.
