Our assigned reading for Tuesday's class highlighted the benefits of blogging. This reading really spoke to me because beginning in high school, I have taken various courses that have required me to maintain a blog. Whether it be for creative purposes, reading responses, or personal reflections, I can technically say that I have been an amateur blogger for years. However, it wasn't until our class discussion about the reading that emphasized the positive outcomes blogging can have on a writer that I realized how beneficial blogging can be. Obviously I have been aware of the fact that blogging exercises writing skills and the process behind being able to organize your thoughts in a meaningful way, but I never considered that putting genuine effort into each of these blogs that I have been required to create could potentially shape me as a writer.
With that being said, I am excited to take this blog seriously and rather than classifying it as an assignment that I have to do weekly, approaching it as a piece of writing. Considering this blog a piece of art will not only allow me to look back on it with a sense of pride, but also keep in my repertoire of talents and experiences that I can take with me as a young writer. Rather than being wary about composing a blog post every week, I will take it as an opportunity to sharpen my writing skills and reflect on my thoughts and how I can relay them best to my web audience.
