My experiences blogging

At first I was skeptical of the thought of a blog simply due to its "journalistic" nature and no man wants to say he owns a journal. I can say now that I see the appeal. I understand now how people can become enveloped in blogs but I cant say I'm one of those people. I have found these assignments to be quite difficult to keep up with as far as post deadlines go and I am still trying to catch up on response posts. Overall I feel this experience has actually turned me off to blogging in that sense. I feel I have spent an enormous time writing about my experiences and telling them to other people about them, something I feel is almost like bragging. I would much rather be enjoying my time rather than writing about it. I don't totally feel as though my attitudes toward reading and writing have changed much during the blogging process. I will say I have learned to respect bloggers a whole lot more though because let me tell you this stuff is hard. The difficulty level comes from the pressing and fast paced nature of blogging. It’s a constant pressure to stay on time and, to be entirely honest, I’ve felt a lot of the pressure myself. It also feels competitive in nature as all of my peers can see my writing and I can see theirs. As I read their posts I’m consistently wondering how I compare to them, whether that’s for better or for worse I don’t know. I don’t think I’ll continue to blog after this assignment is finished but it has humbled me
