Reflection

Creating and writing in a blog was in interesting experience. It was a little different than I expected mainly in part because I didn't really know what to expect. I really didn't expect it to feel as much like a journal or a diary as it did. The biggest challenge for me was figuring out what to write about until I realized that there are very limited boundaries for the writing.

I found it very nice that I was able to break away from the norm of the "classroom feel" and really put my ideas down how I wanted rather than cater to the guidelines typical of a school writing. I wasn't a big fan of having to write so many posts, but as I went on I realized that it really helped the organization of my thoughts. I tend to have an issue of having so much going on in my head that its hard to be on a specific task with out wondering about the next or which of the other five to do next. Its like a constant scramble of thoughts. Writing these helped me choose a thought and stay with that one thought. In terms of writing, it helped me figure out more ways to put my emotion into my words and maintain a decent flow while doing so.

The process of this undertaking from point A to point B was different in comparison to one another. At first, just like every school assignment, I was focused on what I had to do rather than what I could do. I think I went from point A to point B fairly quickly, possibly before I started in real writing. There are a couple of posts that I would say are unfortunately obvious that I was overwhelmed with so many other things outside of this particular assignment that they just didn't quite have the feel or flow of the others. All in all, I would definitely say that I now have a better understanding of the importance of writing often, something I truly hope I will continue to do, albeit probably not every day.
