Comparison to Literacy Autoethnography traits:
Although some of the blog prompts were based upon creative writing, which I normally despise, I didn't completely hate writing them. I might even go as far as to say I almost enjoyed a few. Perhaps my hatred of creative writing stems from my past experiences, writing for teachers or peers. I am a creative person, but writing just isn't my medium of choice, especially in the creative/fiction sense.
Audience has always been a huge block (or sometimes advantage) for me in writing, and that is shown clearly in the pieces I chose to analyze for my Autoethnography essay. I suppose it was easy for me to write the previous posts because of the "invisible" audience. Writing when I know barely anyone will read, or take time to look at makes it enjoyable, as if I am writing only for myself.
Comparison to Graffiti Art:
This blog could be compared to graffiti. I think most blogs could be. Graffiti is public art, created in public places/on public surfaces, for the public to view. Blogs are almost virtual graffiti. One could paint a word or image on a wall, or create a post just like this one on a cyber-wall for the world to see, if they happen to stumble upon it.
