8.How do you like having a blog? How has blogging changed the way you write, the way you think, or the way you think about writing?

I used to hate blog,(what if you run out of ideas and what if you don't feel like writing sometimes.300 words, that's a lot of word for the people who don't like to write and that's why i don't like to blog).That's how I used to think.I kinda of like having a blog now because is easy and it help me improve with my writing.I think blogging help me a lot on improving my writing because since i start blogging i notice i don't get stuck that much any more and ideas just keep on coming.I think is easy now because is a free write and i can pick any topic i decide to write about.At first blogging is kinda of hard for me because i don't usually like to write at home or i just don't like to write period.when i first blog i always keep tract of how many word i wrote but now i don't don't even keep tract of how many word i write.I think i kinda do like having a blog because is a way of expressing your idea and it helps you improve your writing.I think blogging is a good thing,other people like your friend's and families can read what's going on in your life.It's like a article about your self.Blogging didn't change the way i think,what ever i can think of i just write about it(and this is the only thing i like about blogging).when i start my blog every week ,sometimes i read another people's blog to see if i can find any ideas for me to write about and i always can come up with many ideas.That is my only solution to writers block.I was looking back at my blog posted,and i can see that now i write differently then how i wrote back then.Now I add a lot of unnecessary sentence in my blog post ,like sentence that have nothing to do with the topic.The way i think of writing back then is that is very boring,a lot of work,and there is no point to write but now i think writing can be helpful in our life in the future.I thinking blogging is defiantly a good assignment to help improve on writing.



7. What have you learned from your struggles with writer's block? Why do you tend to get stuck? How do you tend to get unstuck? Notice any patterns?

Writer's block is something i always get,and i hate it.I'll just be finishing up my sentence and out of now where i got stuck.The only solution to this problem for me is to look at other people's blog to get some more idea,but sometimes that don't work so i just watch some TV or something like that to get my mind off blogging.After i got my mind off of blogging and the next day when i come back I'll would have new ideas again.I think writer's block is just when a writer got tired of writing and your brain is telling you to take a break so you think your really stuck but your actually not.I've learn a lot from my struggles with writer's block.I discover something new when i got stuck one time and all you have to do is to stop,i mean to stop writing for 3 hours and when you come back on your computer i am 100% sure that the first thing come to your mind is how to write better,and your going keep on thinking and at last you going to end up writing.That work for me every time,but i am not sure if it work for every one.I tend to get stuck when i get tired so i just take a break.Reading is another solution to writer's block because reading give you information on other things and this lead you to start thinking harder.It depends on what kind of book do you read,for example i read magazines because it give me information on what's going on every week so i can find ideas to write about,but sometimes i choose the wrong topic and that just get me stuck after 3 sentence.When i get really stuck i find a new topic to write about and hopefully i chose the right topic.







10. Where do you get your ideas for blog post topics? What inspires you to write?

I usually get my ideas from every day life.I think of what happen all week or whats going to happen this week?any big event coming up?That's what i do a lot but now i go on other people's blog and look at what they blog about and just surfing the Internet and see if i can get any good ideas to write about.Music is very useful when you trying write because is a way to relax you so you will fell comfortable when you write.The best music to write to is techno,i think is because the beat is fast so is pasting you to write faster.I listen to techno when we do quick write every time that's i how i always finished so fast.I think i get my ideas on the things i like because every one can write about what they like,for example like hobbies,music,food,shoes,and electronic device.I love writing on the things i like because i can't ran out of ideas to write about.when you blog nothing really inspire you to write,you just write what's on your mind or what you feel like writing.You can just write about anything when you blog any topic you like it's like a free write.I sometimes forget i have to blog for English,I think of it as some thing i need to do every week if i don't do it ,i feel like there's some thing missing from my week end.I think i just got use to blogging.Another way to help me blog is brainstorming in my head,this method is very useful.I just write down of a list of topic to write about and i try to write 2 or 3 sentence for each topic to see what topic works for me the best.I think when i ran out of ideas to write about another method to use is to ask your self a lot of question.This method is very useful.I got this idea from Sutherland's blog he was writing about how to get pass writer's blog and i thought this can be a good idea to inspire another people on blogging.
