Writing 101-102

Hi Stretch folks. I saw that everyone in class has started a blog. I have a blog too, which I haven't updated in quite a while! If you look at my past postings, you will see that I was doing poetry book reviews on the blog. It was so promising back then when I started it, but then other writing projects, like my poems and thesis, got in the way. Oh well, the present is as good of a time as any to get things going again, right?

So I hope to revitalize my blog while I am interning in the Stretch class. I have perused a couple of the blogs that some of you students have posted. It looks like you are reviewing a sample blog that has been assigned. I think that would be a good way for me to understand how blogs usually work, and what makes a good blog. I have heard things like a good blog usually has posts of a certain length, as well as other guidelines. However, I find that it is better for me to be less critical of myself when I am first starting out on a project. Later, I can compare what I have done to other's work and find ways that I can improve on my own writing. Or I might want to incorporate a certain tone or technique that another writer uses for my own purposes, if it seems to fit.
