Although it was challenging, having to blog every other week through the year has taught me to better plan my time and be organized in advance. When everything is in order, everything gets done with no stress needed.
Your identity is something you with hold with pride. You want everyone to know that this is who you are and it's how you're going to stay. Sometimes when you don't have as much confidence, acting like someone else makes it somewhat better. Using social media online helps people achieve this view of not being yourself. By people using social media to show themselves to the world as something that they are not makes them feel powerful eva use if the attention they get. This practice of having an "online identity"; someone who acts a certain way online to cover up their true feelings about themselves, isn't healthy. You get so custom to being that way that you lose yourself on the way.
Based on my blog posts, I learned that while I read I analyze the parts that pop out towards me. If I believe that it will have some affect on the plot later on, I will try and figure out how or why and connect everything together. Blogging the whole year has helped me become a stronger writer. I've learned how to get straight to the point and leave out the "fluff".
I have learned so much from blogging and am thankful that I have gotten the opportunity to do this. No matter how annoying it may have been, in the end I learned do much more than I started out with and that was my goal the entire time.
