Blog Talk

Looking back on the blog project, I can see both positive and negatives to the whole experience. When the blogging began, I wrote long, analytical posts because I was rather self-conscious about sharing my life and thoughts with the world (aka AP English 12), which basically defeats the point of the whole project. However, as the weeks progressed, I felt more comfortable about writing freely, and about rather obscure topics. Although I believe that blogs were a good way to discuss topics not discussed in class, and relate English to our lives, I found it hard to come up with topics at times. If I could not think of a good topic to write about, I would write about the most random ideas, concepts, and experiences that were not interesting or intelligent, but just because I had to get the blog done. I think that if we continue to do the blogs next semester, we should only write one blog a week.  Due to the fact that we currently write twice a week, I feel like my first blog of the week is always better because I have run out of ideas by the time I get to the second blog. However, as a whole, I believe that the blog project was a good way to get our unheard ideas out.
