Blog #8: Blogging

Blogging, what can I say? I think that blogging is a wonderful tool to get out a message to the masses. The possibilities of being able to make money off a blog is even more interesting, however it really is not for me. Blogging is great for those who enjoy writing and publishing their work for others to read. I do not enjoy writing and to me keeping up with 2 blogs on a weekly basis has been a little torturous.

These blogs have become even more frustrating in that the instructor who assigned these blogs was removed from the class and to what extent her criteria was to be met was not known. This is due to the fact that feedback did not come on any of the blog assignments until two days after the class ended. If I would have known that the three hundred word limit was going to be adhered to I would have forced myself to have more to blog about on each subject. I do not like to blog because I don't enjoy writing for the sake of writing, especially about things that are not inspiring to me. I know I am capable of writing three hundred words or more. Hopefully in the future I will not have to wait for feedback on assignments until after the class has ended.

Alright, I must keep blogging because there are not enough words.

I like the fact that I am able to keep track of every one's blogs in the class because now I can go back and read what their thoughts were regarding blogging. I have a feeling that many of my fellow classmates did not enjoy blogging either.

Would I enjoy blogging on a subject that I enjoy? Yes, of course I would, however the topic of blogging and blogging just to blog is not what motivates me to write, especially when grading and feedback was pretty much non-existent until two days after the class ended. (While the class was still in session only 4 assignments were graded out of 14 and none of the graded assignments were blogs.) Thus giving the impression that it really didn't matter.
