Nicole Lee | Letter-writing Community

Here is an example to follow for your first blog post. You do not need to copy my format! Just make sure you do two things:
1. Introduce yourself
2. Share your idea for your community narrative

My name is Nicole Lee and I'm a fourth semester graduate teaching instructor at James Madison University studying Writing, Rhetoric, and Technical Communication. I love JMU and I have a yellow lab puppy named Madison. Since I was an undergraduate student here, I've worked for Orientation, Residence Life, and Summer Conferencing. Some of my hobbies include freelance writing, ballet, yoga, and skydiving. 

For my community narrative, I'm planning to write about being a member of the letter-writing community. One of my best friends lives in Colorado, and we write each other handwritten letters on a weekly basis. Even though we call and email each other, too, I love writing and receiving letters from her. I believe letter writing is a lost art since most long distance communication is conducted through digital technology today. For the research portion of my narrative, I'm planning to look at how email communication differs from sending paper mail through USPS in terms of type and quality of writing.
