The essay we are writing is difficult, as it should be. Personally i find this essay very very difficult. There are three main reasons why i find the essay difficult, 1) because finding sources for my topic took forever. I chose the Loch Ness monster as my topic and there were so many sources telling me why the Loch Ness monster is real, i had to search for days to find sources that reason why the creature isn’t real. 2) is time, there is so much we have to do for the essay and i feel like we don’t have enough time to do it. There are certain qualifications we have to meet in a short time, in order for me to meet those qualifications i personally need more time. 3) it’s kind of difficult for me to understand. I know for some people it’s not hard to understand but for me i struggle a lot.

The Loch Ness monster is real…right? Wrong, the Loch Ness monster is only a conspiracy. A tall tale made by the Scottish long ago, claiming that “Nessie” was attacking a man when another stepped in to save the day. People say “Nessie” lurks in the dark waters waiting for her next attack. Science shows that “Nessie” doesn’t actually exsist. Some say she’s a dinosaur, some say a giant eel or some mutated fish. But there isn’t actually a Loch Ness monster. I chose to write about this conpiricy because I grew up thinking that the Loch Ness monster was a real thing, but now I know the truth, my childhood was a lie, “Nessie” was not real.

The rhetorical analysis essay was not my best work, nor was it easy for me to do. I struggled a lot with this essay, but the part i struggled with the most was just putting it all together the way i wanted to. Whenever i do a major writing project i can never get my words out the way i want. However i believe something did go well in my essay, and that was my evidence. I think i did pretty good giving evidence to support my claims. From this essay/topic, i learned that all creations have a certain tone or feel to them and everyone looks/takes them in a different way.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
