Prompt 6. Sept 6.
Look at the entries of this week by two members of this blogging group and do TWO reviews (more than 150 WORDS each, not characters). Post the reviews here Invalid Review .

Well, this prompt caught me a bit off guard. Didn't see that coming. And wouldn't you know I got started with my writing late today? This is also outside of my comfort zone. I consider blogs a bit more personal. I honestly prefer reviewing poetry. I share my dad's love of poetry. Although, dad never wrote it. He just collected it.

I started out reviewing "\\ Exurgency // "  written by LdyPhrankenstein. Here is the link to my review Review of "\\ Exurgency // " . I would recommend for others to read this blog too. It is well constructed, and you can tell a lot of care and effort are put into the entries.

My second review was of "FAITH BY THE ACRE"  written by spirit dog prowling 4premium+. Here is the link to my review Review of "FAITH BY THE ACRE" . I would also recommend this blog for others to read as well. It is positive and I believe is written with a great purpose in mind.

It is hard to review a blog because usually it is based on just a skim over a few entries, especially if it is a larger one. I kind of wish there were a way to review multiple individual entries too. Not all entries are the same. Each blogger expresses themselves differently. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/blog gives the definition of what a blog actually is. One thing to keep in mind is that a blog is usually not written in a formal style of writing. It is kind of anything goes. It is a personal expression of one's thoughts.

Personally, my blog consists of a few different types of entries. I have my personal rants or journal-like entries. I have some set up like a newsfeed featuring different answers to different blog prompts along with other information. I actually like to blog. It just depends on how much time I have to spend doing it. Lately, I have not had the time I desire to have to dedicate to writing. I do what I can though because I enjoy it. Some seasons of life are just busier than others.
