Meta-Post

Over the semester as a whole, I struggled most with writing a blog post that was more interactive with the reader and audience members. Writing a blog isn't the same as writing a paper. It is much more informal but also very thoughtful. But if the purpose of our blogs to help with our writing, then I wonder when we will ever write an informal paper anytime outside of high school or even in it. It may help create and coherently plan ideas in a logical order but otherwise, what else is it doing?

However, I think blogging has become much easier this last quarter because to find good ideas I know in what kinds of places I can look that will have interesting articles or ideas that I can expand on. In addition, I believe that I have gotten better at empathy for the reader. I really explained the context of where the blog idea came from and I think that I have made the discussions interesting. 

What I could work on though is asking a few less questions to start the comments or discussion. Not only that, but finding even more interesting topics to blog about. Topics that people waver on like the discussion we had about the man who stole the drug that could possibly cure his wife. For that topic, it really seemed as though one could argue yes and no at the same time, which makes for a very interesting discussion, hearing people's reasoning behind their choices.
