Last Effort Here!
I recently signed up for an on-line writing class. The continuing education department where I work has recently partnered with a company that offers low-cost basic on-line courses (in subject areas that we don’t cover in our programs). I was really curious about how they work, so I became the unofficial guinea pig and signed up for one, just to try it out. It’s minimally structured, there are no grades or academic credit, but it’s just enough to get me motivated to think about writing again. There are specific prompts and exercises, but it also encourages participants to write outside of the specific tasks that it asks for. Since I already have this LiveJournal, and, strangely enough, I still have a paid account, I thought I’d try coming back here before reinventing the wheel and finding someplace else to write. But if anyone has been using other blogging sites, I’m definitely open to suggestions. My paid account expires May 31st, so I have three months to decide what to do. LiveJournal’s not exactly what it was back in the day. Most of the communities I’ve joined have become basically dormant, and the rest are people posting the same type of stuff people have been posting for years, so not exactly a huge draw there. And of course, most of my friends aren’t active much anymore either.
I most likely won’t be putting my class assignments here. We have a place to post them, and so far, they would be uninteresting to anyone else. For example, one topic was to light a candle in our writing space and describe it. Maybe they’ll become more interesting as time goes on (it’s a six week course), but for now I will probably just keep that separate.
