Blog Entry #1

Well, this is my first blog entry ever! I'm not sure whether I'm afraid or excited, and I mean with this that I'm not sure if the purpose of my writing will be understood by my audience (you guys) exactly with the tone I want to transmit.
After reading the chapters assigned I felt motivated by the importance of the rhetorical situation and the process of assessing my own writing. One of the purpose of writing is to communicate with others, and as an English Language Learner I normally feel unconfident when I have to write an email, or post a comment on Facebook, because I still didn't develop the skills to use accurate words and tone to make my writing sound appropriate.
Sometimes my audience read my short and simple emails as "rude" instead of what I pretend -just short and simple.  Other times they read them as sarcastic because that email was "longer than usual".
Based on my experience communicating with people, especially at a professional level, i realized that I need to work more on stating the rhetorical situation, and for that,  I need to work on vocabulary development.  However,  I want to follow the book advice and "let the words flow without worrying about them.  Let yourself wandering without censoring yourself" (Bullock 229).  But, on the other hand, If I want not to censor myself I have to take the risk of my audience making assumptions that I didn't expect.
