Course Reflection— What's Happened & What's Next for DigiGurl720

This class provided me with the opportunity to explore my various innate writing styles. I was able to speak freely on topics pertaining to my beat masqueraded as my DigiGurl720 avatar.

It’s a neat feeling when a Twitter account with over 61K followers retweets you. That happened to my Wiki Rewrite assignment, which has accumulated 362 views! That’s about 26x more than the average view amount for my assignments. A sense of pride came with seeing that astronomically high number of views painted on my administrator’s dashboard. Did 362 people really care to read my self-proclaimed definition of digital marketing? They did indeed.

This goes to show me that my writing does hold value. A blog would help position me as a digital marketing expert. I’d post these articles on LinkedIn to further promote my knowledge and forward-thinking. These digital footprints will not only help my professional status but also boost my organic SEO. My blog will be an addition to my online portfolio.

Moving forward, I will not necessarily be killing off DigiGurl720, but rather evolving her. The blog’s design will transform, including a sleeker and more elegant user interface. The façade will change but the essence of DigiGurl will not.

I’ve always had qualms about writing. I’m my own worst critic, which doesn’t help. Still, there’s an instant feeling of anxiety and insecurity every time I write. When I sit down to write, my thoughts are jumbled and the words caged in. Professor K wrote with such verve and I envy that quality and will try and emulate it. I need to keep in mind that writing takes many forms. It ranges from a 30-second radio script to a full-fledged white paper. Nonetheless, writing is a powerful skill. It can pull you out from the virtual shadows and shine a spotlight on your name if your content is high-quality and valuable. Therefore, I will continue to ride that struggle bus and write.
