The Inspiration Behind Blogging

In the beginning of the year, when I found out that we would be blogging weekly, I didn't think much of it, and thought that it would be easy. How wrong I was. For me, I don't have ideas of things to blog about often, and when I do I have trouble putting my thoughts into the blog. Do I blog about sports? Politics? High school? There are so many things to write about, why can't I find something that I would want to write about. I finally settled on writing about blogging, and where inspiration comes from.
After reading an article about where to find inspiration for blogs, I realized finding inspiration wasn't my problem. How I set out on doing these weekly blogs was that I was going to write the greatest blog post week in and week out, and in trying to do so I fell behind and lost the real reason for having a blog. The goal is to get your opinions out there, no matter what they're on and to draft an argument, good or bad. After finishing a unit on freedom of speech, I would sit in class thinking about the connections between our First Amendment rights and blogging. With this useful medium for expressing ideas and opinions, that so many previous people would have killed to have this tool, and I don't use it. Inspiration can come from anything, and from now on no matter how important or unimportant something is, but it means something to me, I'm going to blog about it.
