As soon as I knew we had to do a "Blogging Around" blog, I went to Leanne's page, because I remembered when I was looking around for inspiration for my last "What if?" blog, I was extremely amused by hers, about what would happen if the world was ruled by boys. After reading it again, I commented:
Leanne, this blog was extremely creative and funny, just like how you are everyday in class. First of all, I loved how, instead of going down the path of least resistance and talking about short stories, you picked a new, unexplored topic to talk about.
Your voice in this post was really captivating because from knowing you, one can tell how sarcastic you are. The last line especially really emphasized the irony of this whole rant. Isn't it scary how about half of the things you discussed are true? (or at least in many guy's minds)I would have loved to read your "upcoming" post about if women ruled the world. :]
I also read Brandon's blog about writing our story fragments. I really liked his insights because they also affected me when we first got this assignment. We were both a bit put off and nervous at first, but realized that it was actually very rewarding and helpful to write our fragments. I wrote:
I felt the same way when we started talking about writing short stories. When I was younger, I always tried to start novels that I thought would make me rich and famous. I had really big aspirations, but a very small amount of patience; most of these future Pulitzer winners never made it past a few pages.
I also really have enjoyed Mr. Allen's ways of writing, just freeing your mind, and then editing and going deeper later. I also love the feeling that we don't have to come up with a full story on the first try, it really making writing the whole story much more fulfilling and meaningful.
