Week 8 Comments and Feedback

 Feedback in. The comments classmates have been leaving on my comment wall have been helpful and encouraging! I wasn't really sure how people would feel about a fairytale theme for stories, but they seem to be liking it. The most helpful comments have been ones that have suggested giving backgrounds for characters, adding more characters, and also making my dialogue match the 'era' my story is set in. Those are practical things that I've been able to add in my new stories, and also edit when I am revising my older ones! 

2. Feedback out. I think my feedback has been decent. I'm really terrible at being an active reader and noticing things that need to be fixed. That's probably been the biggest challenge, so I've had to start taking notes while I read. I have learned a lot from other people's projects. My classmates are way better at using dialogue in their stories than me, so I've been working on that! 

3. Blog comments. I have loved getting to read people's introductions. Everyone in the class has done a great job bringing their personality to life through their blog. I am super proud of my blog and my project. My intro is super fun and people are seeing my fun, laid back side through it. The only thing I haven't liked about my site is that it's kind of cluttered, but thats because Im not really sure how to organize it better. My frustration towards my blog is why my project site is very clean and easy to navigate

4. Looking forward. Looking forward I want to try to give better feedback on people's post that they will find useful, like I've found their's helpful! If I can figure out a way to declutter my main blog that wold make me very happy.

I think this picture perfectly describes how I feel about criticism. I used to hate criticism because I took it personally, but now I realize that it really does help you grow. No person is perfect, which means we all have more to learn. In a weird way its cool that you can never know EVERYTHING about something.

Hello there!! My name is Briana (Bri-aw-nuh), but to keep it simple you can call me Bri! I am an Entrepreneurship Major, and I LOVE it. The way I love to describe my major is that its the "fun" business major. It's all about being creative, thinking outside the box, and solving problems in the real world through a product or service! Its collaborative friendly and encourages team work for pretty much every assignment. I went into my major blindly, but I can't imagine studying anything else.  Since we just got done with summer break I think a lot of who I am is summed up by what I did this summer! I got the amazing opportunity to live in the mountains of Colorado investing into the lives of 16 year olds while walking through scripture with them. I basically got paid to pretend like I was in high school again, and got to do fun things like hike, zip-line, bowl, and so many other things. To change things up a bit I'll provide my summer video that I compiled!...

Week 6 Story: Sleeping Aurrie

Image
Once upon a time, in another land far far away was a king named Hubert. King Hubert was one of the greatest men alive. Not only did his people adore him for his kingship, but they also adored him for his selfless, king hearted mentality. King Hubert was a great king and husband, but he knew he'd be an even greater father.  For years him and his wife were trying to conceive, but time after time they were unable to. King Hubert refused to accept defeat. In the middle of the night he snuck away to go visit Mal, the witch of the kingdom. Mal had nappy, greasy black hair, a wart the size of a tomato on the side of her nose, and her skin was a slight tint of green. When king Hubert arrived Mal knew there was something up, the king barely even acknowledged her most days. The king began to explain his and his wife's troubles and Mal grew angry inside. She knew where the conversation was going and thought to herself: "How dare this man expect anything from me when he has neve...
