I had never really thought about blog...

I had never really thought about blogging. Now that Mr.Sutherland introduced it to me I liked it. I enjoy it. I like that I reflect a lot on what I think about. It has not been hard to find a topic to write about every week. I don't think I will stop blogging after this school year is over. I probably won't do it as often but I will still do it.
It's very interesting to me to see what people write about. I like to see what people think about.Usually people who blog write about stuff that they wouldn't normally tell people. I like it. I know I write about stuff that wouldn't normally come up in a casual conversation.Maybe after this school year is over I'll have more interesting things to write about. I want to know where this experience goes.
I have never been much of a writer. Writing was something that I have always had trouble with. Blogging has showed me that I have improved as a writer. I find it easier to get my point across. I guess it was just the topics that gave me trouble. Before, the words to explain myself just never came to me. Throughout my blog I noticed that ideas came to me faster. Before, I would get stuck all the time, such as when I was writing this post. It's still hard sometimes but I'm getting used to it. Hopefully it gets easier as I go along. My vocabulary has expanded and I think of that as a skill that can help me throughout the rest of my life.

I like that blog posts are due every week. I usually write about what has happened between my last blog post and the one the that I would be writing at the moment. I find current events about my life easier to write about. I love reflecting too. I like looking back on the good times. Earlier I wrote about memories, which I love thinking about. They say You can't know where you're going until you know where you've been. I'm not completely sure about that yet, but I do know that what I have been through in the past has made me who I am today.

Blogging has been a way to let out what I have been thinking about. It can be a place to write about my troubles though I don't like putting my troubles out there. Blogging has also been a way to figure out what I truly care about. My blog has shown that my first priority is my family. Blogging has helped me understand myself more as a person.

Blogging has not changed how I think but it has changed the way that I write. I find writing a lot easier. I correct my mistakes. I go back and try to make whatever I am working on as good as I can. I has definitely changed the way I think about writing. I used to think that writers had the most difficult job, but now I see that it was only in my head. It is very easy to write make believe things, or memoirs, or any kind of true story. The only way writing can be hard is when you are given rules about what to put in, what to leave out, or any other boundaries.
I get my ideas for blogging from any current events in my life. I write about whatever is on my mind at that moment. My inspiration comes mostly from my family. Sometimes it's not directly about them. Sometimes It's about something that I know they would be upset about, something that would make them happyor something that directly involves them. I think Family is the most important part of my life. They are a big part of my blog even if they don't know it. Most of my blog posts are just updates. They can be updates of my schoolwork, myself, or family. I had never really thought about where my inspiration comes from. I guess I was just blogging for a grade. It's sometimes a hard question to answer. Even though I already said that my inspiration comes from family it might not be the full answer. Now this question has got me thinking. Maybe my inspiration comes from something else. Maybe it's because I know that I have to do it for a grade. The ideas for my blog just come to me. Whatever I am thinking about at that moment, that is what I write about. When we are in the lab and my friends and I are talking, they give me ideas also. Sometimes we write about the same things. I wonder where they get their inspiration from. Blogging has opened up my mind to new ideas. I wrote a blog about the future and where we are going now. I have never talked about that topic to anybody. It just doesn't come up in conversation. I think about things like that all the time but I don't talk about it. Ideas don't always come naturally to me. Sometimes I just sit there and look at a blank page for a while until I find a topic that I think I can finish my assignment with.

It's not always so difficult to find your inspiration. I know what part of my inspiration is but I still have to find out where the other part comes from. I will keep blogging for the rest of this year, not only because it's for my grade but because I enjoy doing it. I think it will be fun to see how many people blog after the year is over. I wonder if anybody will keep blogging even after high school. I think I will have a lot more interesting things ti talk about when I'm out of high school. I think that's when I will be able to do whatever I want and start a life on my own. That will be inspiration enough to keep blogging. I think I will keep my word and continue blogging. I would definitely recommend it for some one who wants to get to know themselves more, someone who wants to put their ideas out there, or someone who has nothing else to do but say what's on their mind. Right now my goal is to continue blogging for a grade but I'm sure that my goal will change at the end of the year. I will continue blogging because I enjoy it.
