Blogging about blogging

1. What makes a blog a blog?

A blog can be a journal, a series of essays, or informative. It is more informal in nature than a newspaper. It is on the internet as opposed to being in print. There are other things that fall into these categories though. What makes a blog a blog is that it is more accessible to the everyday man. This is as true of the writer as it is the reader.

2. What's your favorite/energizing thing about blogging?

This is my first blog. Though in the idea of blogging, I find the prospect of anyone being able to do it exciting. I have no connections in the publishing world and I am still in school. Yet, here in the blogshere, I am able to publish my slant on things or to share knowledge that I have accumulated.

3. What's most challenging about blogging for you?

As exciting as the prospect of putting my writing out there is, it is equally challenging to put myself out there. All of my writing, including the most seemingly mundane article, is so wholly wrapped up in who I am as a person. It is somewhat intimidating to put what I have worked on up for the critique of the world.
