Week Eight Comments and Feedback

I think the comments are very helpful. They were equally uplifting and constructing. I liked that a lot of people started with positives. I think sometimes with feedback it can be easy to only focus on the negative comments that you have because you overall want the person to make their work better, but sometimes that can be discouraging. I appreciated that people were honest and seemed genuinely excited to read my work. The comments I find most useful are the ones that I can clearly fix. If I can read it and fix it, I appreciate it. A couple were vague where I wasn't sure what to do to make them content with my work. Similarly to those leaving comments, I have found it best to give a compliment and things that I really liked about their style or their work and then circle back with a suggestion about parts I had questions or ideas about. It is important to get the perspective of other people in these comments so I try to make them truly helpful. I am getting ideas because each of us write differently but tell stories beautifully. I love the comments. By having all of my works published, they can read about who I am and get a sense of my style while still allowing me to better my work! I like how my introduction is written. A lot of comments came about visuals and those were things I did not even think about. I am going to add more detail to Persephone. She was the one goddess that people did not feel like they truly knew and I can easily add to that! I think I will add more visuals also. Majority of these goddesses are conceited so that could only help the story line!

Introduction to Me

Hi! I am a junior at the University of Oklahoma. I am studying psychology with a health and exercise science minor. I love psychology because I think people are very interesting. I do not think people realize how similar they are to other people. I think studying psychology has helped me immensely learn how to work with and adapt to those around me both in personal relationships and in work relationships. Over my two years, I have taken some really interesting courses. I think my favorite so far has been social psychology because I think that there is a lot to be learned about those around us. However, my most challenging class was anatomy. I learned so much about the human body and how phenomenal it is that all of these parts work together to create and function us as human beings. As interesting as it was, it was an extremely difficult course. I was pushed to the point of stress I didn't even know I had. I am a better student because of anatomy but in the moment I was overly str...

Week Twelve Story: The Horned Women

The Horned Women by Joseph Jacobs There was a woman who lived in a cottage. She lived with her family and her staff. One night, after they had all gone to bed she stayed up preparing wool. It was a quiet night until she heard a knock. "Who is there?" she asked. "I am the Witch of One Horn" she answered. Assuming it was one of her neighbors in need of help, she answered the door. To her dismay, it was not a neighbor. A woman with a horn on her forehead entered the room. "Where are the others?" she grumbled "They always take so long". The homeowner was very confused. The witch had made herself at home. It was not long until she heard another knock on the door. Reluctantly she answered it. Standing outside was a woman with two horns on her forehead. The witch charged in to join her sister. Within the hour, ten more arrived. The last having twelve horns on her forehead. They had made a large circle in the room. They were spinning a thread on thei...
