My blogging experience

Whoopee! As soon as I’m going to hit the send button this blog assignment will be over. Nothing can make me more content and euphoric than this thought! Not that I hate this virtual world of blog but it still gave me creeps because its purpose was purely academic. 

Eager, as  I am to get rid of this assignment,I’m not really sure how it would feel like not be part of a very strong and supportive team. How would it feel not to have a bossy team leader who has imposed hard and fast rules for meeting deadlines and making you work on time unlike the way you have done your assignments previously? How would it feel not to wait for the bittersweet, encouraging feedback on your posts? I wonder what it would be like. And my instinct says I will miss it. 

This blogging business turned out to be a whole new experience for me. At the beginning I had difficulty coping with it. It was not just writing and submitting your posts, it was more about being logical and creative about your writing, being aware of the readers’ interests, especially being patient with the weird, illogical comments of anonymous users. Still I’m grateful to all of them who commented whether to criticize or encourage. As I got to learn a lot from the feedback I received.

 All in all, it was a bittersweet experience. I feel obliged to thank our course in charge to have given us this opportunity to articulate our thoughts openly without any restrictions. One thing I’m sure about is everyone who had done this assignment is going to feel nostalgic about it someday.

  1. One! You don't refer to your your reader's comments as illogical and weird. They take out time to read your piece (howsoever illogical it might be... not referring to the above piece... a bright example though)... just kidding with ya... :D

    Two! You are expected to be more creative. This experience makes you learn what writing is all about. When you'll be a professional, you will come across more diverse views.

    And last, writing is fun. Enjoy it!

  2. To me blogging is fun.Its a magic. you can share any thing with the whole world just by gathering and putting your thoughts on a one single platform of blog.
    we were asked last year by Humair Ishtiaq to create a blog.I made a blog only in fun, and today i have near 60 followers who are not my friends & not my fellow mates as well.they are unknown people from different parts of pakistan and few even foreigners.
    It really makes you feel happy when you notice that people like reading your stuff and love dropping comments:)
    I'm in love with blogging!
