Self-Critique

I believe that my best blog posts were about open writing and criticism. I feel that they were my best simply because I felt passionate about my opinion and I guess my emotion or mood was my drive. I was a bit angry as I wrote those blogs because I had a target. They were both about awful and rude critics or people who make unnecessary comments about a subject matter. What I learn from these two blog posts is that having a strong drive on a topic can help in writing a meaningful statement. I mean you would not make a good argument if you argue over a topic that does not interest you or something you are not even passionate about. I also learn that if you have a problem with someone's statement, something that you do not agree with, you should respond to them in a courteous manner. If you show respect as you are telling the writer what you do not agree with then chances are you will be able to defend your reasoning better or learn something from it. Because if you end up angry and start becoming rude then things will escalate to unnecessary comments, like name calling and you may end up looking really stupid. So what I learn was to write with passion but make should all of your words come out of respect and nothing rude.

A blog post of mine that I did not think was so great was my preliminary essay post. If was a bit difficult since that post was basically my outline of my research paper. Well the main difficulty was finding information on my topic. During one of our class sessions, I realized that I had picked a pretty hard topic, which was on science and creationism. But I managed to learn a lot on each side. Plus I had to ask for an extension for this paper. The main reason that I do not like this post is probably because it brings back memories of me being stressed out over the research paper. Ironically, I did pretty well on the paper, so overall, I just do not like the stress! I have learn from my teacher that I should prioritize my work better by doing the most important work first then on to the lesser important work.

I can honestly say that my relationship with writing publicly has changed, I feel that it is relieving to write out your opinion. And I am not a big fan of writing either. But with these blog posts, it is as if everyone has a voice and a chance to share their view points. These blogs have made it more comfortable for me write out in the open for people to see. Mainly because I came to a realization that, in online public writing, everyone has the equality to write whatever and should not be mistreated in anyway. Overall, I did enjoy writing some of these blogs because they were mostly opinionated, and I am glad to be able to write about how I feel about a topic rather than analyzing someone else's opinion. Well even though I enjoyed writing some of them, I am more glad that they are done with! Merry Christmas!
