The Art of Blogging
I had never been really that interested in blogs before this class. When I first heard that we had to blog in this class I was like "really....blogging???...puhlease....". My first few blog posts were really monotone and analytical but as I discovered the freedom one can have in writing blogs my posts became more and more casual. I believe that blogging has definitely helped improve my individual "voice" in my writing. I'm writing more and more like how I would discuss a subject out loud in a vocal discussion. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is up to you, my readers to decide. I'm still not really into blogging on a regular basis but I definitely appreciate it more than I did before. When you add the comments into the experience it's like having a vocal discussion but without anyone interrupting your ideas, which I think is quite nice, because I've never really been able to hold my ground in vocal discussion, usually other people end up talking over me and I don't particularly like to fight over who gets to speak when, so this whole blogging thing is a much less stressful experience for me.

I thought the same thing at first. Blogging always seemed like one of those things that people who have no lives do just to pass time and keep themselves from going crazy. For me, having a vocal discussion is a little bit easier, just because I don't think as much before I get out my idea, which kind of works for me because then I don't lose my train of thought. On here, sometimes I get so caught up in trying to make something sound nice that I don't even remember what I'm trying to say, haha. But I can totally understand where you're coming from :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, the blogging process has become easier, and has become more like a conversation. I generally believe that vocal discussion is less complicated. Often I can't find the right words to describe what I am trying to say. When writing I have issues expressing things like sarcasm, so I think vocal discussion is just easier for me. I completely get how writing may be a better form of communication for you, I guess it's personal preference :)
