Blog #6
My writing on Tumblr does not have an audience necessarily. I am trying to write for myself for the most part. If I had to write something never to be seen by another eye, it would not be dissimilar to what my Tumblr posts are. However, in writing for class, I constantly focus on who my audience is and how relevant each sentence is for that audience. This is because of the purpose and formality that goes with each medium. A paper is to be taken seriously, and I can be found defining terms that my audience should know. However, on Tumblr, I ramble on with complex terms that probably not many people that view my posts understand. This is fine because I see my Tumblr posts as for me, asking me to evaluate my craft has a purpose of analyzing myself, for myself. Whereas a paper, especially one like the instruction set, requires me to create a product for others, not just one for myself that happens to be public. As a blog that is for me rather than for someone else, I find that is has absolutely been a good thing for me. I feel putting thought into what I do is going to accomplish my goal of improving, even if only slightly. Above all, I enjoyed it. Because it’s for my purposes, I would say enjoying something is a success.
