Currently, the first group of seniors who are taking the three-term senior project option are in their third term and all of them are currently working with re-writes at one stage or another. One of the questions I consistently get when meeting individually with seniors is: how is everyone else doing, where are they, how are their projects?
The answer to all those questions is: check their blogs. That's why I insist you maintain them, so that everyone else can see how you're doing. I realize that some of you deal with this on other social media platforms, but... carving out your own individual place on the web can be useful in ways that being a facebook drone can't. I drop in on everyone's blogs periodically, and so do your individual instructors if you're in workshop, so we're not actually as disconnected as you may feel.
The other points of the blogs are to get you used to writing regularly, writing publicly, and writing something regardless of whether you have an audience. As I've said in the past, the content of your blog isn't so much what's important, but the fact that you're writing at all.
Ask yourself: have you been keeping up?
