Blogging

Blogging is a new concept to me. It is very scary and overwhelming. This is something that is out of my comfort zone because I don’t consider myself a strong writer, and knowing that all my peers will be reading this and evaluating me makes it even scarier. Writing has always been extremely difficult for me. I tend to have mental blocks about what I want to say. It is a painstaking, slow process that I dread. It’s hard for me to get my thoughts and words together to make any kind of sense. For instance, writing this blog is harder than I thought it would be. But, I am going to try my best. I do believe that blogging will be beneficial to me. It will hopefully boost my confidence as a writer, gain more knowledge on how to write, and also learn about how others blog. It will be interesting to see people’s thoughts, feelings, and emotions on certain subjects, and reading about other people’s opinions will be eye opening.

Since I have never read blogs in the past, I decided to look up what a blog is. A blog is an online journal that is usually created for small groups of people or people with the same interest. Blogging has become very popular; therefore, many people blog for a living. I didn’t realize that blogs are very important throughout the world because as news happens, people blog about it, and the word gets out through social media. Some bloggers are so reliable with their information that their accuracy about a situation is comparable to what you see on news broadcasts. Although there are some bloggers that can make a good living out of blogging, this is definitely not the career path for me.
