Continuing the thread of talking about my blogging goals, I want to put up a little blurb about some possible ways blogging could help me career-wise.
This summer, I’m planning (Corona Craziness aside) to get involved with Rowan’s chapter of The Odyssey Online, a publication where members write and put out an article each week about something they are interested in. I’ve never had much practice publishing articles based on my own interests regularly, but guess what–this blog fits that bill. I can get loads of practice improving in an area of writing that for me, has been rather difficult so far. I’m excited about that possibility–blogging to me is a unique genre because it combines my perspective on my interests with those of other people, and I value myriad perspectives.
I also think that both this blog and The Odyssey Online will help enrich my experience when I add a second concentration, Publishing and Writing for the Public, to my major. I think that immersing myself in new, more challenging types of writing and getting experience writing for other people instead of myself will really benefit me after I graduate and (hopefully!) get a job in higher education.
See you on Saturday for more on my blogging goals!
