Don't Freak Out

Okay, so I've heard from overstressed people and some people who are stressed about the blogging. I'll be talking about this concern in class, but let me put down in writing so you can reassure yourself.

Don't freak out. Blogging is not formal writing. You should NOT be putting that much effort into it. Certainly not as much as writing your essays. I see writing a post in 10 minutes. So that's 30 minutes a week. The length of a sit-com, if they made sit-coms anymore. And then, you can scan your peers' blogs and make two comments in 10 minutes or under. So again, don't freak yourself out. Have fun with what you write and what you read.

The next two weeks' post assignments:

1. Over the next two weeks, you'll be reading Chuck Klosterman's book Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs. For one of your posts, please respond to a specific passage in Klosterman's book.

2. Write a rant about something. Anything. Rant against blogging. Doesn't matter. Just a passionate rant.

Happy Writing
