--Return to the Writer Thing List
Blogs are used for a variety of purposes from personal jounals to communications to businesses, interest-based constituency, or loyal fans of (literary, music, acting) artists. Here, you will be creating a blog to explore the Writer 23 Things and discover how this communication tool might work best for your interests.
Included below are blog sites that offer a home for your thoughts. Check out Blog Services Review: Top 10 for comparisons blog hosts. If you're new to blogging, consider setting up one through Blogger as that is what this experience is using. Other blog sites will work as well, and would need to have a setting that allows other participants in this experience access without an extra account being made. Whatever blog host you select, a Google account or an Open ID (description) is needed to participate.
To complete Thing 2 you must:
A. Create your own blog
B. Register your blog in the Writing 23 Things at writerthings@storywind.net

Once you have created a blog, send an email to writerthings@storywind.net
Include your name, blog name and blog address. Write in the subject header: Writer 23 Things.
C. Reflect - Blog Prompts for Thing 1 & Thing 2
At the end of each Thing, you will be asked to post to your blog. Your reflective post should provide insight into what you’ve discovered and learned.
What worked, what didn’t, what you might try in your personal/professional/writer life, any surprises, frustrations, or eureka moments.
Provided prompts are optional. Use them or let them be your way for identifying what you wish to say about the Thing experience. Their purpose is to get you thinking.
The title of each blog post must refer to the Thing that you are writing about (by number) -- for example, give this first post the title: Thing 1 and Thing 2
Prompt:
Why are you participating in Writer 23 Things? What do you hope to learn? What new insights did you have during Thing 1? How does writing on the Internet, knowing anyone could read it, change how you write or feel about writing?
