 The blogging experience is not one I will quickly forget. It was nice, for once, to be able to talk about important things and not worry about sounding professional. It was great to solely write and have fun with it. I took a lot away from this experience too. I learned how valuable low stakes writing can be, how helpful it can be to generate a positive outlook on writing, and honestly I just enjoyed it (I may look into blogging more casually, and potentially have a professional one too).  I will be selecting my top blogs based upon the following categories: Professionalism, Design, and creativity.

I tried using stock images, but I felt like it didn't have the same effect as if I used the images from the novel. I'd say my favorite thing about creating this was finding images that conveyed what I wanted to say without spoil...
