Blog Reflection

The blogging experience has been challenging and educational and liberating.  It was difficult for me at first because I do not have many computer skills and had a hard time posting and responding on the blog site.  The blog experience opened my mind to writing down my thoughts and not being afraid to let others read my writing. I learned that writing, no matter how elementary in context, can be interesting for the reader.  The free writing was a learning challenge that taught met hat my writing doesn't have to be perfect, it is more important to be able to write. Once everything is in text in front of you is when you make the changes to make the piece better. . The blog helped me be more comfortable with the writing process. It helped me be able to have more freedom and less fear when writing my essays. Reading over my blog post and applying the class reading made me aware of the challenges I face as a writer. It allowed me the chance to evaluate my writing and see if I was making progress.  Being open and sharing myself in writing and not knowing who was going to read it was a liberating experience for me.  I enjoyed reading the other blog posts and see what others had to say and how they were progressing with their writing. It was neat to see all of the different writing styles and the topics that people chose to write about in their blog.  I have purchased new notebooks so I can continue writing. The knowledge and confidence I gained is irreplaceable.  I am now hooked on writing and can't wait to continue and see how my writing progresses.
