After reading my earlier blogs, and then my latest blogs, I realized a few things. One of the most prominent things was word choice. Over the past few weeks I have tried focusing on my diction, and I think (hope) my blog has improved in that way. In earlier blogs, I found that my writing was less appealing to a larger audience, which I'm fine with, but blogging has helped me connect with an audience through writing. Probably one of the most important things I have improved upon is shortening run-on sentences.
A favorite post of mine is back when I was reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. It was the first time in my "blogging career" that I'd got carried away with my writing, in a good way. As the weeks progress, I often find myself wanting to write more than the three paragraph requirement, usually, I do. There are a few things I want to continue working one throughout the rest of the year. As always, one of those things is word choice. I think you can never have too broad of a vocabulary, and so I hope to broaden mine. Another thing is staying on topic, because I often rant a bit or just get bored and move on. Finally, one other thing I think I should work on is adding more to my blogs than just talking about the book for the whole three paragraphs.
Part of a blog I'm proud of
