This is me

As I was digging through all of my writings for the portfolio, I felt that my blog on my wallet would be a fitting for a piece that illustrated awareness for my audience and voice. My target audience was the average person just on the internet looking for something to read. I want to write something that would be entertaining, and I think I pulled it off nicely.

After figuring out what I wanted to put on my blog entry, I found it easier to just write about my wallet as if I was being interviewed by someone. I would ask questions that I’d imagine someone would ask about my wallet, like what are these cards for, or what are all these receipts doing in your wallet. It was tough coming up with some questions though, and I often caught myself grabbing my wallet and looking what the contents were. Even though my wallet is important, it’s just one of those things you don’t really care about until you lose it.

Although I was writing for an assignment in blog form, I didn’t feel any pressure at all to make everything perfect. I’ve had personal blogs before, so writing the blog was just second nature for me. It’s just that writing a blog with a prompt was different, but that was just a hurdle I was able to jump over easily. Working blogs for class, especially the one about my wallet, has given me the drive to start blogging since I think its pretty fun.
