blogging

When I found out we'd have to write all these blogs for this class I was not very excited; it just seemed like extra work. However, I think that it has proved to be one of the more helpful writing techniques. Many of my blogs posts have been building blocks to my essays and often times I find myself just copying and pasting things I wrote on my blog to my essay. Also the knowledge that people are going to be reading your blog was good training for writing towards a specific audience. I honestly didn't enjoy writing comments and replies because it is uncomfortable to critique people. However, I think getting complement comments on my paper did give me more confidence in my writing. One of my favorite blog posts was the ethos, pathos, logos; it got me thinking early about what appeals I was going to make in my argument and most of the words on that blog post ended up on my final essay.
