Blogging? Are there rules? No. This has been instilled in us in Garrett Graff’s, Social Media class. After reading Antibloggergirldc’s blog I must say I completely agree. I was really apprehensive when the class began. How am I gonna blog and actually get people to read it. Am I going to do it correctly? How can I blog about class related topics and keep it interesting? But then Garrett told us comforting advice. He said that it takes between 50-100 blogs to learn your blogging voice. Wow I thought. We are only required 16 so I probably will not have my blogging voice by the end of this class. So the best thing for me to do it try my best. I decided to write as if I am talking. This whole class has been an experiment. The largest struggle I have had is taking the time out to blog. I feel like if I had more time in the day I could spend a lot more time perfecting my skills. But since I have a million and one things to do and to blog on top of that is a little hectic. I must say it has gotten a lot easier the more I have done it. I feel like its not like writing papers where you are more worried about the word count, or filling pages. With blogging you say what you have to say and that’s the end. Although we try to reach a certain word count I never find myself struggling to reach it. It just comes more natural. Maybe it is because it isn’t as structured. When you don’t have rules its less intimidating. For example a paper with rules and guidelines may take you more time to plan and execute. A blog in your one words with your own thoughts is a lot more free spirited.
