Day Ten

I think so far this experience has been pretty fun, although I didn't expect to do this well on the blogs. I've never really been into blogging, but I guess everybody thinks I'm good at it. I'm not really sure why, but I have a knack for writing. I secretly dreamed of being a journalist in my younger years, and it's always been in the back of my mind. I must admit though; I have truly enjoyed writing these blogs, and they really do help with the writing of my story. 

I'm pretty much caught up with everything, and the blogs we had to do. I wasn't sure how I was going to manage at first, but I pulled through :) I think this has helped me rediscover my secret love of writing, and it has made me think about the book I dream of writing (and publishing.) I thought I was good... Well not to be cocky, but a great writer. Doing these blogs helped me realize that others think very highly of my writing, and I started to gain a whole new confidence in my writing abilities. 

I think it's important to comment because I'm sure that everybody is worried about what they write, how they write it, and the way they present it. Even though people despise all the comments that people write, I think they still value it deep down because of their own insecurity inside. Well... Maybe everyone isn't insecure about what they write, but then again even the most confident person needs to hear others critique their work. I mean all great artists have had others critique their best work, but that didn't slow them down. It gave them that sense of tenacity to keep going, and doing what they felt was right. I think you get the point of how important commenting is right? 

In all these blogs, I've have composed the basic elements of my story. I don't want to discuss each day personally, but only make a reference to each. In the earlier days, I started off discussing the original story; along with reasons for choosing it. I developed the setting (plot), characters, mythical (fantasy) creatures; among other things. I think this pretty much sums up the previous blogs... And such things :)
