STORYTELLING WITH ANTO

Public Domain Vectors I am quite happy with my progress in the class so far. I have kept up with all of the assignments, I only missed one but made up the points with some extra credit. Overall, I am really enjoying this class, I enjoy the reading and the storytelling posts, but most of all I love working on my project. Every time I have to work on my project I get super excited, I love doing research for it and writing the introduction and stories, so I really hope people actually enjoy reading it. I do think I should take more advantage of the extra credit opportunities, so that is something I would like to incorporate more during the second half of the semester.  I am lucky enough that I have a pretty light semester credit-wise, so I am not as burned out as other people, but I am still quite tired and looking forward to the spring break, which is my biggest motivator at the moment (hence the picture!). I hope I will continue to enjoy this class and that I will keep up...

Every time I get an email about a new comment on my blog, I get super excited. I love reading about what the other students think about my stories and project. How useful the comments are varies a lot, sometimes I'll receive a very detailed comment that points out specific areas for improvement, but most of the time the comments are quite vague and praise the story without offering any new advice. I think this may be because most people do not want to be harsh and point out things wrong in the writing or narrative, which I understand, but it also means that I don't know what to improve. I also think that the assignments about how to give feedback, though well-intentioned, do actually more harm than good. This is because we are so focused on covering the requirements of the WWW or the TAG that we don't actually provide useful feedback.  Personally, I think the feedback I leave is, for the most part, very detailed and hopefully useful. I try to give out the type of feedb...

Medusa Mirror of Memory by Incantata So far, I am pretty happy with my blog and the work I have done for the class. I have played a lot with the settings of the blog and have changed the theme quite a few times, so I am satisfied with the design I currently have. As for the reading and writing assignments, I have realized that the schedule I originally had did not work completely for me, so instead of doing both readings on Monday, I have been trying to do part A on Monday and then part B on Wednesday. As for the storytelling, I have noticed that I tend to leave it to the last minute, as I do with the project assignments, so I need to rethink how I organize my time. That being said, I am still very proud of the stories I have written and have been able to keep on top of the work.  I think some of my favorite assignments so far were the microfiction I did on Medusa's story and the letter I wrote for the Ancient Egypt unit, which apparently many people liked as well.
