I think what made me hesitate most before finally sitting down and just writing is the ambiguous nature of what is acceptable to write here and how it should be written. The syllabus says the blog can be a “place of formal, print-on-paper reading responses” or just exploring ideas in “whatever way most appeals to you”. Does that mean that anything is acceptable? My blog definitely leans more towards this side of things than the “formal, print-on-paper” side of things, but is this ok? Also, what is it about printing something on paper that connotes formal, proof-read perfection? When I read that the first time it made complete sense to me.
