~I found a blog!~

I'm excited to have found a blog to research! It is probably the most perfect blog I could have found for the topic (networking, communication, blogs) that I was interested in because it's a blog on social media. I think it says something that a blog by someone in New Zealand could be useful for a topic like this, it contributes to how expansive the Internet and technology in general is.
I found my writing proposal helpful in starting to learn what aspects of the blog we're researching to examine. I believe that proposals also help to get your mind, subconsciously and consciously, thinking about your topic. I learned this from a professor I had last year who said when people think they have writers block it's not because you're stuck or can't think of anything to write, it's because your brain is still thinking and processing and exploring. Ever since I heard this it has helped to make me more aware of my own thinking and sometimes I catch myself offhandedly thinking about a class or a project in the very early stages and I now recognize it as my brain forming thoughts and ideas about the topic.
Soon we will start commenting on each others blogs in the topic groups we are in. I might not get as specific feedback because I'm the only one in my group with my topic- everyone else is doing music. But maybe it will be helpful to have objective feedback from someone not researching the same thing, who knows!
