Jamál (Beauty), 3 Qawl (Speech) 175 B.E. - Sunday, November 25, 2018
As the challenge comes to a close, reflect on the Blogging Challenge so far. Have you learned anything about your blogging style or has it evolved over the course of the month? What was the most difficult part? If you do this challenge again, what would you change? Blogging a Door to Both the Inside and the Outside Blogging is a door When the door to the inside opens, thin blades of light penetrate the darkness revealing kernels of yesterday's fears and tomorrow's hopes. When the door to the outside opens, the blogger inscribes words, symbols for thoughts and ideas, in black letters onto the white pages of the blog, and the kernels shrivel or grow, as thoughts are transformed into sentences and paragraphs. What have I learned about my blogging style? I have learned that when I compose a blog entry in my pen and paper journal. I rewrite the entry as I attempt to transcribe it into the blog document. Has my blogging style evolved during November? I certainly hope so. What was the most difficult part of this challenge? Sometimes I had difficulty composing a response to some of the prompt. I think it was because I had problems relating to some of the prompts on a personal level. What would I change when I participate in this challenge again? I don't know. I have two methods of composing a response to a prompt. I either compose it at night, in my pen and paper journal, and rewrite it the next day when I'm transcribing it into the blog. Or I set down at the computer, open a blog entry, and begin writing. |
