As PR students we write, we write all the time. We are taught how to write releases, PSAs and even Tweets. Versatility has to come with you job to know the audience that you are writing for. I have written for a variety of internships and jobs from a car-agency advertising agency to the fourth most powerful U.S. Senator. Every new job is even more exciting and challenging. I know how to write for others; how to immerse myself in the culture and write for the audience. But what about when you write for yourself? Who is your audience? What style do you write in? That is what I still grapple with.
A blog is supposed to be a manifestation of yourself to the world. Of course I am not going to show the side that sits on the couch and watches Tool Academy on VH1, but I still want to stay true to me. Blogging for this class will be a lesson in self-discovery and I am excited to dive in.
And by the way, I am not brilliant enough to think of the title for my post. Its a quote from Benjamin Franklin.
