Has 25 days come and gone already? Well I say it’s about time! In writing blogs for the last 25 days, I can honestly say, I have grown to hate writing. I know that is not the point of this exercise but that is what it has accomplished for me. I didn’t like to write to begin with and having to do it every day has just made it worse. Also, I don’t like sharing my writing with the world and doing the blog has not helped that either. Maybe if I was just writing for the teacher every day it wouldn’t be so bad but writing for the world is not what I want to do for a living or even just for a class. This was supposed to have increased my writing fluency and I guess it possibly has done that to an extent. I still feel like I have a hard time coming up with topics to write about and sometimes even if I can come up with a topic, I have a hard time having enough to say about it. I tried the writing prompts and did do a couple of them but most of them I either didn’t feel comfortable with or didn’t feel like I could come up with enough to write. I think I was able to write the most when I just wrote about my life and all that is going on but I am leery of putting too much information out there for the world to read. I realize that probably the only people that will ever read that blog are my classmates but there is the possibility that anyone could so I didn’t want to put too much personal information out there. I don’t feel like I got very much feedback so I don’t have any idea what I need to improve on. If would have been more helpful to receive feedback at least weekly.
Well, I am certainly sorry to hear that this particular project ruined writing for you this summer. You should go back to the beginning and do some reading. You may be a bit surprised at the changes you will find as you read on this. This is a nice body of work and something you can be proud of. Thank you for the honest reflection. ~Ms. A.
