Well, I admit it. Before my writing class, I wasn't a blogger. In fact, I'd only ever written one blog post in my life, and it was very . . . dry.
When I wrote my first blog post for this class, I really had no idea what blogging was all about. I assumed my blogging skills would have magically improved from my previous attempt. I compared, and realized my new blog post was . . . also dry. Sahara Desert sand.
As time passed, though, I decided to take the project to heart. I blogged away and started really having fun, and I started finding pictures and video clips to visually enhance what I was trying to say.
That ran me into a new problem—the temptation to let my visuals do the talking for me. For that reason, I cut a few of my visuals and worked to make my text look more visually appealing. Now I've learned how to make visuals and text work together to create visual appeal.
As I look back to my first posts, I realize how my writing has grown and changed. As the semester has progressed, I've incorporated pieces of writing knowledge I've gained from class into my posts.
It occurred to me that I'm really going to miss my blog now that it's done. It has been with me through hard times and fun, and this Christmas break I might just find something I want to blog about, and be at a loss.
Maybe I'll make a new blog . . . or just keep this one!
