Throughout the school year, i have been writing alot in my Blog which is called iblog. As time have passed since my first blog post, i have seen many improvements in my writing. I have been writing about personal experinces, responses to other student’s blog posts, free writes and a lot of book reviews or essays.
I’ve never had a blog before right untill i started freshman year. At fisrt i was not too intrested in writing on Blogger because writing is something that i never really liked to do. Not only that but sinse Blogger will be part of my school asignments, obveiesly it would be all bout academic stuff.
Soon i was informed that Blogger wont always be all about your writing assignments. I consider blogger to be a writing website where you can just write out all of youer ideas and express your self freely without having no one to judge your writing. And due to this, there are many things that can write about and poast it in my blog.
Things that happen in my everyday life inspires me to write about in great detail which is something that i still need to work on to become a great writer. Things that happen in my life that are funny, crazy, exciting, etc.... I once wrote about the topic of death and how i have experinced it and how i feel about it. This is a perfect example of one of my blog posts that came to be one that i liked. I Like this blog post because i didnt really prepare to write abou it. Instead i just gave it all i have and spit out all my thoughs about it. But at the same time just writing about what happens in your everyday life can also make your writing weak. That is why to post a very good blog post of someting that happened. it really needs to come in great detail. I have noticed this because I know that my writing is not that great when i dont prepare before i post my final piece. I think that this is one of the reasons that some of my blog posts are not that great. like other blog posts. In the end, I i improved my in writing strategies and know when the write time is post a good blog post.
In the begining, I always rushed to finish my blog post which was a mistake that i did. Due to this, my blogs were not so good. After i have read my past blog posts, i have seen dramatic changes in my writing and in my ways of expressing my self. After the first semester, i began to put a lot more thought into my blogs which made my blogs be more interesting. Somethings that i was not very good at were the response post because a lot of the time, some blog posts that i have read were good but not great to a point where i could really write a lot. Not to be mean, but If there was someone who really had an extordinary mind and always wrote what was in their mind, then there would really be a lot to talk about. I like to read blogs that i can relate a lot to and express myself. I once responded to Bassam’s blog post of how he was bullied and wanted revenge. I found it really interesting so i decided to write about it...This quote shows the opposite of building mutual trust and respect. beating someone really bad is a total disrespect. I also understand how it feels to be on the side where ecery kid is insulted or has been beat up...i got stronger, and realized that i have knockout power behind my fists. i took adventege of it...his is the opposite of resolving conflict peacfully. This is resolving your problems with violence which is not the right thing to do.
This is was my second blog post that i posted when i first started on Blogger. after reading this blog post in a long time, i noticed that it was pretty good. This post was a response post to Bassam’s blog post of revenge. And in that post he talks about how he was bullied. As you have read, i realted to his blog post. Thats something that like to do when i write my response post and over time, i have improved. For example, i give a better view of my perspective in the respnse posts.
like i said before, i like to relate many things that i see or hear. This is something that I think that i have gotten better at over time. To be good at this, i think that when we are going to but up a blog post of something that we either read or saw, alawats come back to simmilar a situation and write about how similar they are.
There was one essay that i did months ago which i think turned out to be a very good essay. The essay was basically a book review and the fact that i read a very good book it turned out really good. The book is called A long Way Gone and it was about violece of war and coruption. Due to this, I found a lot of realtions with othere things that i seen on TV.This book contains so much violence, bloodshed, gore scence and its such so violent. This book is so well written because as you are reading it, it's just as if your watching a movie. I'll say that if this book directed by a very good director, you will say that it is way worse than the movie RAMBO. This book is so brutal. I say this because it just contains very good imegry.
As you can see, i made a relation to something that i saw. There so mach that you can relate things to each other especially if you have an open mind because theres so much that you can write about if you can go in debt with what you are relating to. As a writer, this is something that i have improved a lot. I know this because every time i write about somethimg theres something i can relate to. And i think that this it is a very good thing do do as a writer because it makes your writing sometimes a lot more interesting.
Another thing that i have eperienced alot and still due when iam writing is writers block. But when it came to writing in my blog, i did not find this much of a problem. Well the reason is because in my blog, i can just release all of my emotions, momories, feelings, etc...Of course there must have been times when I just could not write something good. due to this, i would just write something that is just random and would not maake my blog post interesting.
i think my solution to this problem should be that when every time i experience something cool or bad, redord it down and then when it comes to writeing something down, i wont have to worry about writers block and write freely from whati experienced.
From i what i have accomplished from blogger such as new strategies in ways of writing, i have came to a conclusion for next semester. For the next semester, i shall try to reach my goals to improvemy writing. One of my goals is to add alot more details in my eriting. This has always been a problem for me because details is what makes peoples writing good. To achieve this goal i will need to think about the topic that i am writing about indebt to get a lot afrom it. writing many words that relate to my topic can come upon great detail. I also wish to accomplish my goal of reducing clutter in my writing. I think that in every essay that i have wriiten, there is always clutter. Due to this my writng turns out to be not as effective. Wys to achieve this goal is to take out all the things that are useless or expand more on it. As you can see, i have done good and bad in my writing, i develped new ways to make my writing better, found ways to reduce writers bolck, and set new goals for myself for next semester.
