As a whole I enjoyed blogging. When I first heard that we
were going to be blogging in this class I felt like it was the end of the
world. I didn’t like the idea of blogging on an everyday basis. As time went on
I started to enjoy the blogging. It helped clear my head and get a lot of my
feelings out on paper. The first two weeks of blogging were fine for me. I had
plenty to write about. I felt like it was not a challenge. The last week of
blogging came and by this time I was running out of things to write about. I
felt overwhelmed and more challenged. All through the week I kept thinking to
myself, when will this be over? Then I thought I only have a few days left I
got this. As a whole blogging brought me many challenges and successes. My
challenges were writing for time and length, having something to write about,
and making it an everyday thing. I feel like my successes would have to be
becoming a more fluent writer. I didn’t have to go back at the end of writing
my blog and correct many things. I feel like as time went on I was able to
write more of what came to my mind rather than writing about what happened that
day. Blogging also showed me what type of writer I am. The process of blogging
is very amazing. I feel blogging really does help writers become a better
free-writer. In a way you learn what type of writer you are and what methods of
writing you use. You read your posts and reflect on your writing skills. I believe blogging helps a writer keep writing everyday to improve. The more you write the better your skills become. Over
time I feel like you continue to improve your writing skills. I guess the
saying practice makes perfect would apply here. Throughout the process I did
find things I did and did not like. One thing I liked about blogging was that
it was like a dairy for me. I could pour my heart out and it not get judged. I
also liked how I could read my other classmates posts to get more insight on my
audience. I liked how I could continue to see improvement in my writing as I
went along. One thing I did not like about blogging was how it was an everyday
thing. I feel that more students would take blogging more seriously if it was
an every other day thing. I realized as I was going through my classmates blogs
many of them were not posting every day. Maybe that might help this assignment
be more successful for some. Another thing I did not like about blogging is how
there was a length requirement. With the length requirement in mind all the
time it made it hard to really free-writing. I feel as if blogging really
helped me improve my writing abilities. Everything has its successes and
challenges. In the end we all take something from it, whether it is good or
bad. Blogging was not that bad after all. I enjoyed blogging.
It really looks like you have taken to this blogging thing really well. Your posts are always well over the min word count and it seems like you have a lot to say! i say keep at it!
