The whole process of writing a blog has been a new experience for me – I really struggled at the beginning to find my way around the word press blog system, that was just the technical part.  I had to learn the discipline of condensing my thinking into a few words.  I did not find that easy.   I also struggled with the idea of exhibiting my work online, what would people think of my content? was it good enough?  the process has been a steep learning curve. The most difficult task for me was task 7 reading, summarising, and comparing two articles in such a short word count.  Unfortunately I went way over the word count on that task. The task I enjoyed most was consuming a book. I read more about the artist Tracey Emin,  it really helped me to appreciate her work and discover what motivates  her.   I have found the whole process illuminating and I am very grateful for the variety of tasks and the opportunity to meet all the tutors through the process
