Self Reflection

 Over the past few weeks, blogging has become a part of my life. When it comes to writing I put my best efforts into making an interesting post and meet the criteria for a good grade. Although, I know that making a blog post is more than just a good grade, it's also about making a connection to the reader(s). When it comes to the content, I make sure to add as much detail as possible. Adjectives are just as important because when someone is reading the post, it's a great idea for them to imagine in their heads what you are writing. Detail is everything, the blog makes more sense to them as a clear visual. When writing it can be a bit stressful because of the information that you are telling, you have to make sure that the facts are real. When are you speaking about something, it better come with facts because it can help boost your credibility. I don't have trouble when it comes to completing the work. I tend to take notes and write down what I need on a sheet of paper. So when I begin typing, I don't get stuck on what to write next. 

Before posting, I check to make sure the grammar is correct and I don't have run-on sentences. Blogs can be risky to post and having someone peer review can be scary. The thought of someone not liking your writing style or disagreeing with what you have to say is nerve-wracking. At the same time, it can be a good thing because there is always wiggle room to improve on your writing. Not everyone is out to get you, there are some people out there, especially someone with more experience is there to help you. What I have learned about blogging is that millions of blogs are posted every single day. I honestly didn't know that many people were still blogging especially in this day in age. I thought everyone was vlogging but people still blog as well.  I realized the importance of adding your own unique style to writing. You stand out easier which makes more people drawn to you. It's important to write about what you know. Having a specific niche makes writing more fun and it brings more a niche audience that you can relate to.

Get to know about Guyana.

 The country of Guyana definitely has some interesting facts when it comes to its history, culture, and politics. First and foremost Guyana is home to six ethnic groups, which include Africa, Chinese, European, Indigenous, and East Indian. It was astounding how these cultures live together in harmony and celebrate each other's cultures if it's their own! This explains the quote Guyana goes by which is "One People, One Nation, One Destiny". They love to celebrate each other's culture with a variety of festivals. Of course, the motto isn't always easy to go by sense the long tension between the two largest groups the Indo-Guyanese and the Afro-Guyanese. The Guyanan culture is definitely unique. South Asians make up the largest group in the small country at about two-fifths of the population. Their ancestors came to the country from India to replace Africans in plantation work. Today, they remain in plantation agriculture and many are independent farmers and land

All About Me

 Hello, my name is Shanya Anderson. I am 24 years old and studying for my bachelors' degree in Business Marketing. I am born and raised in Atlanta Georgia and I inspire to become a screenwriter. Writing has been one of my favorite hobbies growing up. I write different genres such as Drama, Fantasy, Comedy, and so forth. Currently, I have taken an interest in becoming a screenwriter. I feel that it is so important that writers as young as myself tell their own stories and to be put on the big screen. Learning how to do screenwriting is a process and I am determined to make it and make a name for myself in the entertainment industry, especially as a woman of color. Writing stories for us, by us. I inspire to become the next Shonda Rhimes (one of the greatest writers of all time in my opinion.) Another hobby of mine is dancing. I have been a dancer since the age of 8. I do different types of dance such as hip-hop, ballet, and jazz. Dancing is my favorite way of expressing myself as it
