Blogging about Blogging

When I first heard that we were required to blog for this English class I really didn't know what to think. I have heard about blogging before but I never really knew what it was. I just knew it was a web page were people write about stuff. The only problem I had with that is that I hate writing and that it was accessible for anyone to see. I was never really confident with my writing because I always felt that it was never good, so putting it out there for anyone to see was something I wasn't really comfortable with. After my first post I saw that it wasn't all that bad, its just hard to come up with something to write about most of the time. I can see somewhat of growth from my first post till now. It used to almost be impossible for me to meet the word count because I could never figure out what to say. But now it has become a lot easier for me to do so with the practice we have had with all the post. Through out this course in English we have been talking about the many forms of writing. I can see now why we are doing a blog. Blogging allows us to write about what we want without any guidelines. Although this hasn't been my favorite this we have done in class I still see the purpose and benefits that comes with it.
