Blog Reflection

* What did you learn about yourself as a reader from creating and keeping up with your blog?

I really began to see how I analysed my reading through all of my blog posts. It was really interesting to view my own process from outside my own head, and also saw how I could grow as a writing from reflection off reading.

* In what ways did you benefit from the experience?

It really helped me to identify the flaws in my process of reflecting, making it easier to read more in depth. I also could really expand as a writer from my blog posts which also helped my better identify author's craft in my reading.

* Is writing online different than in a notebook?  In what ways?

Its easier for me to organize online and it feels more neat and efficient to publish work online especially because I have  very messy handwriting adm my ideas can sometimes be lost in it.

* In what ways can writing online be liberating?  Limiting?

I believe it feels more liberating because when we publish stuff online we’re at home and it feels like a much safer place but it's actually limiting because whatever's published can't disappear and defines our online selves.

* Do you think that people are more real online or do we create online personalities that project the best of ourselves? Or something else?

I believe people are more of themselves online than they are in person but online you can edit yourself turning it into the best of who you are.

* Do you think that teenagers abuse the freedom that being online gives you on sites like Facebook? Do people type things they would never say to a person's face? Do you think this is a good or bad thing? Why?

I think  people definitely abuse freedom online, because like I said typing on a computer at home when your alone feels safer than talking to people in person so teenagers say things they might not before.

* Can you imagine yourself keeping up this blog or creating another one?  What would it be about?  What's your opinion of blogs in general and why?

I really like the idea of using a blog to publish creative writing and I think I could be a great place to spend some of my online time rather than doing mindless activities.
