I must say, when I read that we have to blog every day for 25 days, I was less than thrilled. I do not enjoy writing. It is almost painful for me. I have to admit though, so far, it hasn’t been as bad as I had imagined. Today, however, I cannot think of anything to write about. I have looked at some of the writing prompts but couldn’t find anything that really jumped out at me. So I thought I would just blog about blogging. The point of the blogging assignment is to gain fluency. The definition of fluent according to thefreedictionary.com is able to express oneself readily and effortlessly. Well, according to this definition, I am not fluent. I am a pretty quiet person and not great with expressing myself verbally but when it comes to writing, I am even worse. I think my main problem is coming up with what to say. Once I figure out what I want to say, it’s not too difficult to put it into words. I just have so much trouble with getting to that point. I don’t know if the blogging is helping but I guess at least it isn’t hurting. I have blogged about essays I’ve read, about things going on in my life and about my past. I am leery of putting too much personal information out there for all the world to read so I get stuck. I think one of the most frustrating parts of the blogging experience is in posting comments to other people’s blogs. It took me several hours to get it to work the first time and I have been trying again with no luck. I don’t think that making comments will make me a better writer but if I can get 30 extra credit points, I need to do it. Hopefully, I can come up with some new topics to write about this week to make my blogging more productive. Stay tuned.
