First of all, I really enjoy the blogging. It helps me realize more details about the book that I might not pull away form the text right away. It is helpful to have response too! I enjoy that Dr. Cole finds the time to carefully read and react to each blog post and challenges us to read more into the story, and author, and challenges us on how we feel about whatever we may be reading.
The one thing I do not know if I am doing right is the length of each blog post. They are not too lengthy, and I feel almost self-conscious over. I am not sure if we do have a length/word limit that we have to reach but after every blog post I am sure that I've said pretty much all I had to say and achieved what I wanted to say. Hopefully I will get some feedback on that, and I won't feel as worried.
The fun of blogging is getting our feelings out to the world, without having to directly show everyone, "Hey, this is how I feel about this book and these characters and this author." I'm not directly showing anyone, but everyone can find it if they tried hard enough.
Hmmm. Didn't ever notice that your blogs felt too short Tommy. I guess they feel to me like you've said what you need to say just like they seem to you. I guess I use Nancie Atwell's examples as my guide, and those posts range in length quite a bit. So, carry on, and thanks for the feedback. I enjoy reading these posts quite a bit and getting to know you all as readers more than I ever would if we only ran class discussions.
