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.

  1. I feel like blogging has helped me grow as a writer in a non-traditional way... but we'll see how that pans out in the long run.

    My roommate, the one you met, actually asked me today about the next part (part 4) in the "How Much I Hate Guys" series.
