Meta-blogging

When I first learned we had to start a blog for our English class I was somewhat pissed off. I didn’t see the point in posting things in a blog once or twice a week.  As I began the writing process I wasn’t sure what I wanted to write about but over time everything just started coming to me. I was amazed at how easy writing a blog actually was. I have reviewed my blogs and I am not sure if I have grown as a writer. I would like to think that I have but I honestly have no earthly idea. I feel as though I haven’t grown as a writer, yet I haven’t gotten worse. For me, blogging allows me to speak my mind and that is something I have never really had the chance to do. Although because this is a class blog there are certain topics that I can’t talk about on here that I would talk about if it was a personal blog not related to anything academic. I enjoy the fact that we get to blog in our class because I love hearing about how others have read my blog and think it is awesome. It is definitely an ego booster. While I’ve been writing the “How Much I Hate Guys” blog I have been hearing about how much people have enjoyed reading it and how they can’t wait for the next part to be posted. I find it extremely entertaining that my classmates have read what I’ve wrote and actually like what I have to say. I think it is great how we can interact with each other through our blogs because I feel like that makes it much more personal and I feel like each of us are sharing parts of ourselves when we post a blog. I am surprised at how well the process has been so far.
