Confessional Blog

19Oct09

Hi.

I’m not a big fan of blogs used as a day to day documentation like a virtual diary but I do admit it’s the lazy way of blogging.I know I’ve been guilty of  it for sure .

But now that blogging is now part of the curriculum requirement in several of my journalism courses I can’t help but feel pressure from blogging now.

The obvious reason being that there’s a grade attach to it, as suppose to when I initially started blogging as a way to practice writing and as cheesy as it sounds, a way of self expression ( cringing as I type the words because it’s such a cliche) .

It’s no great coincedence that once I started blogging my last journal entries have been less and less frequent. Blogging activity goes up, journal entries goes down. Btw, this is where I enter fancy infographic ( If only I can do one that doesn’t take me a whole two days and wads of pulling out my own hair).

Audacity,  Excel, Omnigraph……oh…..myWHAT????

To say that I’m confused and overwhelmed is an understatement really. But I do understand the importance of producing quality content for blogs. And despite of my unimpressive blog ( as of yet) I do WANT to produce quality content.

Last Thursday  I was at Borders reading Blogging for Dummies. Yeah. That loser , that was me. I just needed the bare bone basics. I feel I need to catch up. On life, on Lost, and on blogging.

Am the only one who feels this way? Anyone?

I think I should change by Blog title ( which by the way I’ve been trying to do but can’t) to The Daily Catch-Up or to The Never Ending Catch Up.

Okay. So those are my thoughts. I would offer tips or ways to be a better blogger but what do I know. : )
