Pondering About the Blog
As I sat down to write my first blog post, I stared at the computer screen for at least 15 minutes, worried about what exactly I should write, what other people would think of my post, and many other useless thoughts. That first time, I decided to write an analytical post, which made me feel the most comfortable and confident. However, as the weeks went on, my posts became more creative and focused on unique topics. The blog has helped me open up and become a more confident and stronger writer, for which I am thankful. Analytical posts became monotonous after the second week, so instead I enjoyed writing about real-life connections to English class and giving information pertaining to books from class. My creativity has increased immensely as each week my mind periodically brainstorms blog ideas. Overall, the blogs seem very beneficial as they increase my originality and confidence.

ReplyDeleteI went through the exact same thought process when I sat down to write my first blog. Now, when I look back at my first couple posts I realize all I did was analysis The Namesake. I love how the posts slowly lost their formality and grew in creativity and humor. It definitely made them a lot easier to write and nice to read.
