So this is it, the final required post of Gotta Love Writing 150. It has been a struggle at times to keep posts coming, and at other times it has been really easy, as is to be expected. Looking back some things that I really liked about this blog are its audience and direction. This blog has been focused, for the most part, on writing, persuasion, and so forth. Its kind of refreshing to put a blog out there that isn't about some young couple and their 2 toddlers that only has one post (type [common name]and[common name of other gender].blogspot.com into your url as proof). Instead I was able to write a blog with a specific theme that not very many blogs focus on. I loved writing for an audience of peers. Having fellow classmates as my followers allowed me to be less formal and more honest and more like I am in person.
I chose the background and color scheme intentionally. The books give an immediate impression as to what this blog's focus will be. The colors, on the other hand, help to lessen the expectation that this will be a formal, dull English blog. I included a picture every week or 2 to entertain and to tie in some of my interests and humor without a visitor needing to read anything.
I wish that I had more posts that were just composed of my free creative writing. More posts like my Narrative (Pep Fujas is the Man) would distinguish this blog from most any others. I think that this will be how I will use this blog from here on out. As I've mentioned before, I really liked what I have written for my Narrative and I have some other short story ideas that I've always been meaning to write. If/when I get around to writing them I'll post them on here, but with a different audience in mind. I will no longer be writing for my peers, but just for myself and for anyone who accidentally finds themselves here. I don't expect anyone to read it, so I'll just do it for my own benefit.
Overall, I have enjoyed writing on this blog, and plan to continue to do so, although far less frequently.
