Response to “Why I Blog”, by Andrew Sullivan was a good essay to read and interesting. I know I heard of Blogging but would never consider blogger as a hoppy, although I have enjoyed the experience of blogging in this semester of Written Communications Class. My favorite quote from the essay of Andrew Sullivan’s essay, which I agree with, was when he said “Blogging is to writing what extreme sports are to athletics: more free-form, more accident-prone, less formal, and more alive. It is in many ways, writing out loud”. People write blogs for all different reasons and on all different subjects like religion, house repairs, births, and family life. I did think about writing a blog this semester on my family life, but with anyone being able to read a blog, I thought it could be dangerous. I also liked how Sullivan said in his essay that blogging is free writing, and can just be thoughts of the person blogging. To some people blogging and writing in general can be a stress reliever. The thing about blogging is there are no editors, or any need for revisions. It is simple how the blogger thinks, feels, and opinion. So may be after this class some of us will continue our current blogs, or start a new blog just for fun.
