Your First Blog Post

Hi, Class!

For your first blog post, I want you to introduce yourself to me as a writer. Please complete this assignment by Friday morning.

How do you feel about writing? Do you consider yourself a writer? Why or why not? Tell me more about your relationship with writing in the past, and how you hope this class helps you become a better writer. Tell me anything else you want me to know, as well, like your favorite color, or how you're obsessed with roller coasters.

For help with things like spelling and grammar, I encourage you to type this blog post into a Microsoft Word Document, and then paste it in the fancy text box provided to you by the wonderful people at blogger.
