5 Reasons to Love the Fantastic Art of Blogging
Escape the confines of academic writing
You and I have been trained since childhood to create intro, body, and conclusion. Paragraph length, formal grammar, and proper citation procedures were hammered into us.
I am the master of scrambling to complete an entire 10-page academic paper, start to finish, in one all-nighter. Complete with quotes and flowing analysis. I guess I just work better under pressure.
I have even written a 30 page capstone academic paper about breastfeeding.
Truth be told, when I put maximum effort into my writing and revision, I see excellent results. But only if I spend 4+ hours on one complete school paper. An A is pretty much guaranteed.
But is it worth it? It’s just a mark on paper from one measly reader.
Enter, blogging and online writing. The “grade” here is about how many people want to actually read what I write. That’s a much more fulfilling type of grade to reach.
Plus, this audience is not here to obsess over grammar and format. They are here for content.
