Hey! the blog is up. You two accepted invites, and you're both admins now, so feel free to change things around to fit your style. (I am very new to blogging... )
So.... Can we just start a blogversation(haha...) and go from there? Would you guys rather have structured posts about everything we read for class and then reply, blah, blah,..?
As far as my vulnerability as a writer goes, here's my two cents:
As writers, we place a little of ourselves out there into the world every time we do our work, and we invite our audiences into some of our most vulnerable places.
Each time I complete an assignment and turn it in, I put a small portion of myself on a page and I ask someone who purportedly knows more about life tell me what they think of my snapshot. Every article, blog post, novel, status update, and e-mail that anyone has ever written has taken a sample of the writer's true self and put it on display.
From here, I pose you a question. When we put ourselves on Facebook (or blogspot... whatever), do we invite ourselves to be vulnerable to the world? Or does the presence of a screen act as a filter; a curtain behind which our true selves hide and put forth the portions of our being that are not vulnerable to attack?
