Blog Post 1


            My blog is about video game reviews. I plan on playing different video games and finishing them to review them. I plan to write about it and what I thought about the game I recently played. If the game was good or not or how the game could be better.
            I hope to post at least a few times a week. I want to have a consistent posting schedule, but I at least want to post a couple to a few times a week on the blog.
            My experience in journalism so far, has been going to UNC and taking the courses for the journalism major. I do plan on expanding my experience in journalism and being open to new experiences and opportunities.
            I chose video game reviews as a beat because I’m a big fan and I enjoy playing on the Nintendo Switch and playing new games that are released. I hope to learn on how I want to write these reviews and see these games in a different perspective. I haven’t covered a beat before, but I’m excited to start and learn.
            My strengths are as a writer is that I’m good at editing and grammar. My weaknesses as a writer is that I’m too wordy in my writing and add more words to my sentences than what is necessary.
            My blogging experience has been just for fun. I have other blogs on other websites like Tumblr and you can blog on Instagram. But those are not serious blogs, but I do try to keep up with them.
            My feelings about blogging is that it’s pretty interesting. It seems like it’s a fun way to share experiences and topics about almost anything. I’ve seen book blogs where people share the books they’re currently reading and if they recommend the book or not. I’ve also seen travel blogs of people living in a different country sharing their experience and providing travel tips to people who are interested in traveling to that certain country. Others use blogs to review movies or TV shows.
What scares me about blogging is that I might run out of ideas to post on my blog or I won’t be able to keep up with the schedule I set for myself. Another fear I have is getting writer’s block and I can’t come up with a new post.
            I’m confident in trying my best in my writing and in my creativity. Blogging could be challenging, but I’m ready to challenge myself. What I hope to learn from this is how to be a better blogger and writer. I want to learn techniques, and have a professional blog that I want to keep up with and keep posting.
