As I said before, blogging forces me to come up with stuff to write about. As I do that, I am forced to analyze some of the situations in my life and try to find out why the work or why they don’t work.
That's true. But I think it's interesting that if we ask kids to write without a grade attached to it, they won't do it. But maybe we're asking the wrong kids. I still think that kids who are in creative writing classes and poetry classes, etc, should be given a blog in which to write. Some will do so only when told to, but others will use it as this woman uses her blog.
. Reading other blogs also helps me to gain new perspectives. These are perspectives that I wouldn’t have without blogging.
