Reflection

When I read that we had to begin a blog, I was like no way. I am not a writer and I was not for sure were to even begin. I found plenty of things to write about it was just finding the time to do it. I felt like I was running out of time at the end of the day and blogging was all I had left to do. You would think that finding ten to twenty minutes would be easy to find. I was wrong. I did find time to sit and blog and I am glad I did. I was amazed at how easy it was to sit down and write about the days events. I can honestly say that the easiest thing for me was I had a lot to write about. I was on vacation so I was able to write about the things we did and saw. If it wasn't for being on vacation I would have struggled with this assignment but. as the weeks went on I began to struggle. I had to go back to Peter Elbows Freewriting article. This article seemed to but me back at ease and on track. I realized that if I just sat down and typed that things come easier. There was a flaw in this plan though. When I went back through to read what I wrote it was a hot mess. I did have to make changes and edit out things that were not appropriate. This assignment looking back was a blessing in disguise. I believe that it has helped me in the writing process. It has made sitting down and writing so much easier. I learned that if you do not have anything to write about you can write about random things. Then you can elaborate on them. I hope that everyone gets the chance to blog because it truly helps in the long run.
