Blogger Brainstorm

     When Ms. Serensky announced a new class project, I was very skeptical. I thought this blogger assignment would be just another homework assignment piling up in my planner. Yet, after completing a quarter of blogging, I have both good and bad things to say about it. I like this assignment because it has allowed me to write about what I WANT to write about. There is no essay prompt, no annotating sentences, and my absolute favorite: no active voice. This creative freedom has been a relief for me. Furthermore, I really like reading other people's blogs because they many make me smile or laugh. I have learned a lot about my classmates through blogger. Truthfully, blogger is only fun when I can think about something to write about. When I have a good idea for a blog I can't wait to write it down. But sometimes, I will sit and stare at the blank text box for what feels like hours. I know when writing exactly which posts will go into Bobbie's Blog Banter and which ones will not. I don't like writing about stupid, pointless things so it frustrates me when I can't think of something creative to blog about. i also sometimes feel sad when no one comments on my blog. I try to comment on different people's blogs every time so I can make people feel good about their writing. If I could have made a change it would be that you cannot comment on the same person's blog more than twice. All in all, I really cannot decide whether or not we should keep blogging. I feel like I would be okay with it either way (Note: this is an unusual feeling for me because I am very picky and opinionated.)
