REFLECTIVE ESSAY NOM :D

Blogging, one of the best way to learn about our writing. Well as of my opinion but i find that if i have it easily organized through the Internet i can search up anything i want and look through my  past writing, so it would make it easier to keep track of the progress of my work. Another reason as to why i liked blogging instead of any other English way of doing homework is that its more in tune with society, we get to write how we want about the popular culture at the moment. Or just in general of what we want to write such as this blog post i remember doing for one of my greatest teacher even though he seemed to only teach about PE.
I also like the way how it makes me think about what i want to write such as this one time i made this list of what i am going to do after achieving total control over the world.
  1. Build more schools in 3rd area worlds
  2. Set up stronger police forces
  3. Add more pay to teachers and professors
  4. Limit robot production and how many each company can get
  5. Try and setup a democratic rule afterwards
  6. Focus more on technological advances and economics
  7. Fund more projects that would help large areas


I also do find that sometimes its hard to find ideas in which to write about. But definitely I find many differences in how blogging has also changed how my writing is in terms of how i do a English project. Though i hate how its a bit censored at moments but it is fun to play around with writing like this and use the ability to write about almost anything i want. Even so, I have not found motivation to do such as of now except when being told it is homework. But other then that, i have tried to write stories but they never turn out the way i want them too so i always lose my confidence and stop trying. The way i think it has changed how i write is that i actually write what i feel like though most of it i consider before posting because of the censorship, such as cussing. Still, this remains as I like the way of how i can express my feeling making it a whole lot funner. Though I wish I had the motivations to do all i wanted on my blog since I think I have great ideas. This thing about the way i think about my writing has still not changed though because the process of writing is still the most difficult thing for me as it is my worst subject, I try my best to do the least run on sentence, mechanical error, or any other grammar errors, since i don’t know how to do well on these things.

One idea that was imposed to me on one of the questions was: Where do i get my ideas for blog post topics? what inspires me to write? I’ve wonder about this question and i tried to find out why, but all i could find out was that all my ideas come from others, the influence of others and what they told me, so I have come to accept that remembering one of my very first blog post such as this blog post about Justin Bieber and how much hate of him have i been hearing and how i think it was unfair.

Why the heck do people hate singers, seriously the reason I am asking this question is that i see people giving horrible excuses to hate, for an example: Justin Bieber because of his voice of it being to high or to girly and say they can't wait until he goes through puberty so his voice will fail and become a thing of the past.

After rereading this old blog post i felt that my ideas truly do come from others and I am happy to say that i can also add onto it because you know those times when you really want to type or say something so bad you just want to blurt it out, well here i did that.

My last question is: What have I learned from my struggles with writer's block? Why do I tend to get stuck? How do I tend to get unstuck? Notice any patterns? Writers block is the worst and i hate it when I tend to get stuck a lot on blogger because i type faster then i think and that’s just horrible pacing on my part. But what i tend to notice is that its because i start to think of another subject preventing me to focus on one subject such as in this blog. You can clearly see that i am not able to keep on one topic through all my blogs and i can give you an example.
In my eyes if humans can finally find ways to satisfy our enjoyments or needs less suffering will be caused. But that probably also a impossible feat but either way somehow the human race tries in all ends.

Here you can clearly see, that i talk about a whole new subject in this blog post of mine. But what i usually do to try and fix this is look over my blog and see if there is anything i have not included in the blog and to get the idea of what i am doing again and so i can go back to typing what i need too type. A cause for this is because i type faster then i think, so the idea is hard to keep focused, but what i also like is that there is no sloppy writing so other people can easily read your drafts. But what i think i need to do is just notice this pattern and try and get a clear mind before i type so i can keep typeing and so it won’t wander off even though i have done that a lot in this blog. Another reason is because it is hard to think about one thing for one whole time personally for me, making the idea seem boring and easily forgotten.
