Well, I made it through April and
BEDA. I can’t believe that today is the last day and that tomorrow I don’t have
to write a blog if I don’t feel like it. It has been an interesting month, but
I’m really glad that BEDA is over. It’s really hard to think about things to
write a decent blog about every day.
Out of all the blogs that I have
written over the month my favourite are book reviews. I love to talk about
books, and writing reviews really helps to get the urge out. Whenever I finish
a book I always sit back and think about the book as whole, this is how I
determine whether or not I actually liked the book. I think about the
characters, the plot, the writing and how much I enjoyed reading the book.
Writing about these points really helps me to wrap my head around my thoughts
on the story, and usually by the end of the review I can tell if I will
recommend the book or not. I guess that it could be the English major part of
me but I will always like to think about books critically after I read them,
even if I don’t go quite in-depth English essay in a review.
I also really love to write about
music, and the couple of times that I wrote about music during BEDA have been
really fun. I always have music playing, and I can’t stand to have my apartment
to quiet. I love to listen to lyrics and to discover how I relate to them. I
love the emotion that an artist can convey through instrumentation and how a
certain song can make me feel. I also love to spread the music that I love
around to other people, and writing about what a song means to you is a really
good way to do just that.
I’ve written at least one movie
review during the month, but I don’t think that I’ll get into that. I enjoy
movies, but I don’t really enjoy writing about them. Movies have always been a
way to relax and to veg out, I feel like if I try to write reviews about movies
it will ruin movies for me.
I’ve written a bit about my
personal life, and things that have happened during the month, and while that
is a good out let, I don’t think that I’d want to do it all the time. It can be
difficult to write about your personal life because you don’t want to share too
much and at the same time you want to keep it interesting, it can be a fine
line. I’m sure that I will write about my life from time to time, but I don’t
think that it will be the bulk of my blogging.
I guess that what I am saying is
that from now on I will be blogging about books, and music. I think that suits
me fine. They are two of my favourite things, and it will keep my blog fun for
me. So, let me say a big thank-you to those of you who have been reading my
blog this month, it has been fun! I can’t believe that I have written every
day, well I did miss two days but with almost 17,000 words under my belt I’d
say that I won this challenge!
