This blog assignment has had its ups and downs for me. I was new to the world of blogging, I do not think that I had ever even read a blog. I was forced into it, but I now consider myself a blogger and have a creative outlet for my ranting. Because of this assignment, I have written when I was uninspired, tired, and just plain lazy. I have written when it was the last thing that I wanted to do, and had nothing to say. But, I wrote each day, and it really helped me to push past the writer's block and get the creative juices flowing. I found myself thinking throughout the day about what I would write about that night. The exciting experiences became a topic for the blog, and old memories became stories. The assignments that I did my pre-writing for in this blog brought to the surface a flood of different emotions that I did not realize before. I enjoyed the exercises, however, because they gave me a concrete topic to blog about. I will not lie and tell you that I am sad this assignment is ending, but I will continue to write in my blog, just not every day! The summer class load has been pretty heavy, I did not realize when I took 3 classes this summer that there would be so much to do. Now that most of the hard work is behind me I am excited to be 9 credit hours closer to graduation. I hope that I have learned enough new writing skills to carry me through to Comp II; I think the blog probably was the best preparedness tool that I had.

Im agreed with you , the blogs journal help us to be a better writer, and its very useful, I will keep writing it if I have time. goodluck to you !
ReplyDeleteI love this reflection! I feel so similar. It was a challenge, but like you said we were forced to push through it. I am not real sure if I will continue to blog. It's not really my thing, but I did learn from it. I also did some ranting on my blog. Mainly about everyday things that annoy me, but it felt good to get it out. It's amazing how quickly you can get out 300 words when you are being passionate.
ReplyDeleteThrough my personal blogging, I have found my stories and my daily life has become much more significant. I am pleased this has begun to happen for you. I find pleasure in the smallest things now and listen most carefully to my children to capture the moments I do not want to forget. You should be pleased with this body of work. ~Ms. A.
