At first, I found the daily blog wiring exercise challenging
and time consuming. I struggled as usual, with finding the right words to
express what I was thinking or feeling. I
would spend 2 pulse hours, trying to get 300 words to make sense and flow. I finally
reached a point, I needed to make a decision whether or not to drop the class. I
visited with Ms. Anthony concerning my writing frustrations. After the conference
I decided to persevere, with a different attitude. Instead of focusing on quantity, I would spend
15 minutes just free-writing. At first, I
was lucky to get 85 worlds stung together that sounded somewhat fluent. Whether
I chose to post my blogs or not, I continue to write every day, I’ am now up to
175 words, more if I’m versed in the subject.
For me, this blogging exercises has challenged me to change
my attitude towards writing. I ‘am no longer going to allow my past writing struggles
define my future writing success. I may never
be a proficient writer, but, I have already proven to myself that I can and
will continue to improve as a writer, with additional practice and instruction.
