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.

I agree with you when you say that it is intimidating to put up your writing material for everyone to read and critique.
ReplyDeleteHi I am Barbara a classmate from ARCC. I agree with being intimidated also. I think this project will thicken our skin so we can put ourselves out there. Good luck to you
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the whole being critiqued thing and how scary it can be. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I like about blogging is that if you so choose you can ignore other peoples opinions without telling them to close their mouth in person.
ReplyDeleteThis is very thoughtful. You say a lot in only a few words -- a good objective on the net where people tend to jump around and don't spend too much time on any one item.
