Week Eight Progress

I am happy with my progress so far! I think I am most proud of my project because I think the idea is really fun and if I can do it correctly it will be really great! I enjoy reading other people's writings. There are so many different ideas and writing styles that are inspiring but also just fun to read. They make me a better writer also! I am using the extra credit to keep a high grade so that if my project tanks I will still have an A! I think that my blog and my website are very different but they reflect their purpose well.  I would like to create a better routine. I think that I have slowly gotten into a groove and I like how it fits into my week but sometimes that time frame leaves me flustered and I do not want that! I think as far as pitfalls go, I just need throw everything into writing and then go back and edit opposed to overthinking details!  My motivation is getting through the semester and getting to be home with family again for the Christmas season!

Week Eight Comments and Feedback

I t hink 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 o...

Week Eight Reading and Writing

I am excited about my readings. I think that they are interesting and it makes me want to do my homework assignments. I like the variety from week to week and how it changes throughout the semester. It does not have the same origin which means that the stories will continue to change. I like my writing assignments  where I get to retell the stories. It allows me to change my least favorite parts or alter the story  to put it in my own world and story line. I like the opportunity of adding a Brynlee flair on centuries old stories. I like my blog. I am a huge fan of pink and I the script that I used as the titles. I think that it looks a lot like me as a person, which is reflected further in my thoughts. My project website is much better! I think with the theme and the stories I chose to retell align very nicely. My story posts are easier than my project because they are shorter and not related. I think that is part of the struggle I am having with the project because I want the...
