Blogging is not something new to me. I had multiple blog accounts throughout middle school and the beginning of high school. However, I was never able to commit to blogging. At most I would post some blogs for the first couple of days my account was set up, but after a couple of weeks I would never log back in. Recently I created yet another blog account just to write down some thoughts. Though each entry was not relatively long, it did help me organize my thoughts and clear my mind. Blogging for me is much like a public diary for anyone to read. It is not personal whatsoever unless you want to make your entries private. Then it becomes more of a diary rather than a journal. Whenever i remembered to post a new blog, I never held back on my feelings and expressed everything that I needed to get out of me. Ultimately, blogging for me is a great resource to write down ideas and express emotions
Writing is not my strong suit. I struggled in my English classes throughout middle school. In the past, many of teachers criticized me on my sentence structure. However, I did learn to become a better writer in the past couple of years, and did quite well in my English classes within the last couple of years. Sometime when I have an English assignment due, I would look back on my previous assignments for inspiration.

Dean, first to clarify: your blog was linked on mine as of last night when you sent me the url, but neither of us recognized it because it's not under your name, but instead what you entitled your blog, which is "blog 1." Maybe you didn't intend to use that title for the entire blog, but I went with what people listed as their main title. Next, I want to know more about the ways you're distinguishing between "journals" and "diaries" and their relationship to public and private writing. In some ways this links to the discussions we had in class today. Finally, I'm curious to know why and how your writing has improved more recently. Did you have a particularly helpful class? Or, was it mostly practice? I'll be interested to see what inspires you from previous classes to write your posts for our class.
