Some Thoughts About Words

This is a learning process. Not just taking an Independent study course, but blogging, engaging in dialogue through a digital platform - especially as a teaching and learning tool. To that end, I feel it good practice to reflect on some feedback I've received on my first blog posts.

• Suggestion - more frequent but shorter blogs.
• Maybe even just Twitter type blips?
• I'm NOT saying that I don't like these nice long reflections.
• I'm just suggesting an easier method for you.
• What if you aren't pressured to write long-explanatory blogs?
• What if you just posted quick memes?
• I'm just curious if that might serve as a better methodology for self reflection (due to the shorter time investment)?

• But what if blogging were NOT for others?
• What if it were just for yourself?
• A fluid flow of your conscious mind?
• Like THIS email?

At this stage, I'm thinking...but I like words. I love using words, crafting a narrative, expressing my learning through words. Yet, one purpose of learning is to try something new, to push beyond what you already know. I already know words pretty well. So, I know this still has a lot of words, but I'm in the process of working through what that means for me. How do I translate my words into fewer words, or no words at all?
