What is Freestyle???
Today I was told that we could do a freestyle blog. To many this simply means that they can write random stuff about a meaningless topic in some cases (but not in the AFES of course). So great people get to write about something completely random. Is that really a good use of the writer's or the reader's time? Well I guess it would be if it was something funny, because come on, who doesn't like a good funny post once and a while. But really the peopl are not told to write freestyle to be random. The really underlying point is to express their true opinion on a topic of their choice. That doesn't mean for them to go and list their favorite foods, but to actually be interesting and show their point of view. That's why it's freestyle. You can be free and talk about what your really thinking without much criticism. ITS FREEDOM!!!!! Use it wisely! It's not everyday you get to post something about almost anything on your mind, you know. If you really use it well people will become interested and want to know what you are really saying. THAT is what a freestyle is. Do not waste it, for tomorrow it will not be there for you.
I hope this has been enlightening to you and you may now go freestyle into the world wide web. Good luck young apprentices.

you are correct in the second half of this post - freestyle gives you the freedom to write (convincingly and well) about something that matters to you (as opposed to my links and prompts). Your job is to make it interesting to the reader, not random or irrelevant to him/her. You figured it out...
ReplyDeleteWay to use your freedom of freestyle to elaine the freedom of freestyle to your fellow AFES!
