The Blogging Experience

I had a lot of fun working on this blog, and although I lost consistency there for a while, I still learned a lot. I’ve had to maintain blogs in the past for school, but they were very restricting with rules and requirements (i.e. poetry review for an English class where we had to critically analyze every piece, and summarize the structure with class terms and – oh yeah, a summary on our interpretations on how the author might have felt at the time of writing). For this assignment, I got to learn about things I actually cared about, and I enjoyed being finally able to play around with more mature themes. I really enjoy assignments like these, because they give me time to research what I want to research; I simply don’t have the time to take out on my own to surf the internet for my own interest during school.

Someday I would like to become an avid blogger, but I feel I have a long way to go. Many of the blogs I’ve come across in my travels have authors that are so funny, suave and witty – and they get hundreds of views a day – even on hole-in-the-wall sites (I think my top day was 12 views).  Everybody’s gotta start somewhere though, I guess. Needless to say, I’ve enjoyed sharing my discoveries and have enjoyed reading those shared by others in return.
