getting started

Think back to how you looked at these matters at the beginning of this course.
Since the time when you wrote those entries,
How are you spending your time on your projects?
-I've been trying to post as much as possible, but have lost much interest. I've gone from a couple times a week, maybe, to once a week, to whenever I get around to thinking about something to write, to only writing to keep up with the class and pass. When I do post, I usually spend from a half hour, to a couple hours. On my "no smoking" blog, I spent quite a long time writing the story about how I started smoking. I've been meaning to spend some time researching the questions I have about smoking and posting, but like I said, I seem to have little time between work and other assignments.



projects

What's going well? What's going better than expected?
-It's not going so well

What's going not so well? What unexpected problems have you encountered?
-I have the above stated problems. Also, I've found that I chose a bad time to stop smoking. It ran right into finals and perhaps a better time to quit would have been when school was completely done.


What are you going to do next?

collaborative writing and participation

If you're working with others, how is it going? That is
-Working alone.


writing spaces

Has keeping a blog/writing in a wiki changed your writing habits, and if so how?
-Not really. I've always had sudden urges to write when I come up with an inspiring idea, and I usually answer to that calling if I have time. I believe I write the same as I used to. I've always wrote wherever and whenever, depending on the resources available. Usually there's something close to write with. Time, once again, is a huge factor.


Has keeping a blog/writing in a wiki twigged you into developing any new writing practices?
Has keeping a blog/writing in a wiki twigged you into developing any new writing strategies? that is, have you found yourself encountering new ways of addressing the new writing situations, eg: how you respond to others on a collaborative blog, or how to write a critique of a piece of writing posted to a wiki?
Has keeping a blog/writing in a wiki twigged you into experimenting with any new forms or genres of writing - either traditionally recognized (the sonnet; the aphorism....) or (purportedly) new (the list, the linked essay...)
Has keeping a blog/writing in a wiki changed your understanding of writing, or your understanding of your self as a language user? RedefiningBoundaries

realm of usefulness

As you see it now, how might you use a blog or wiki to support what kind of writing?
-Blogs can be useful as a hobby for writers of basically any genre, or as gathering information on specific subject and posting chronologically, which can be useful to others acquiring advice or knowledge in that area. Blogs and wikis can be useful for web-based teaching, such as our daybook and wiki homepage. We can access it anywhere and find out what to do next in class.


generative questions

You're now approaching a level of expertise that allow you to address these questions with some authority. So
-A Blog is a personal webpage of chronologically posted information which enables you to post immediately or store work in progress. It is always stored on the web for others to view and for you to access, look back, and expand.
-A wiki is a personal webpage with a simple design which possesses the ability to change and add information quickly. It can be used as a personal writing space or for group projects, as well as other uses, but tends to be less attractive than a blog.
-keep things neat and orderly, compile information and always access it, get it out there right away for others to read, and find people who are interested in the same subjects.
-You save trees, but use energy with your computer. You get things out there right away for others to read. You don't get writers cramp. The ability to store things neatly on the web and come back to them.
-Tough one. Maybe the ability to work on longer pieces and put them out there when you choose.
-You edit write away before posting so you don't post a piece of crap.


and so

-The opinions of others if they choose to comment
-Time.
