Blogging the good Blog

LPW701A Writing Folio Part A allows you to begin work on a larger piece of work to be completed in LPW701B Publication Folio Part B. In this subject you are expected to begin to develop your work and to keep a reflective journal that includes thoughts, insights and reflections on the writing process, your intentions and the experience of writing.

The journal should be around 2000 words and should include short samples of your final larger writing project. While you should include samples of your writing, the work that is being assessed is the reflective journal.

Like my other course LPW700, this one also requires me to keep a reflective journal. And just like the other journal, I plan on using a blog for this one, too.

In the "My Writerly Self" journal, I justified my choice to keep a blog rather than something more traditional, like a word document. Originally, blogs were, and still are for the most part, formatted like a journal. The platform is perfect for nurturing and growing ideas over time. They can also be visually stimulating and are easily capable of referencing outside documents, images, videos and sounds. Blogs with the commenting function enabled allow readers to interact with the blog, by leaving comments on specific posts.
