My blogging experience

There were courses that required me to write posts on blogs. So writing blogs to me is nothing new. In previous courses, I was instructed to write on certain topics and they were basically story writing or some descriptive essays.

In this course, I am allowed to write on various topics. The only criteria is that the posts have to be about new media. Having granted so much freedom actually makes me uneasy. As there is so much I can write about, I am a bit lost and don’t know what should I work on. Therefore, at the end, I decided to write about videos and video games which I had tried to create during lessons.

Another new thing I have tried is to write a post with criticism. The plot is the only things I need to pay attention to when writing stories online. I have to make sure they are interesting to the readers. But writing critical essay is a completely different thing. Logic and support evidence are highly valued in critical essays. I find that my posts were mostly about my personal feelings of those new media. So, if I were given another chance to write my blog posts again, I would definitely do some research regarding to the chosen topics first before I officially started off.
