Lindsey's Epics

Looking back through all my work, I am overall pleased with my progress so far. At the beginning of this class, I struggled a little with the more creative side, especially in the story writing. I feel like I have grown as a writer just in the first 8 weeks. I am happy with how my portfolio is turning out and even the progress I make week by week. When I first brainstormed the portfolio, I was content with the theme being Karma, but I did not have a more specific theme surrounding it. As I read other people's comments on what they liked about my stories and just looked at the types of stories I write, I noticed I usually write about college aged kids and the setting is normally in a college-like atmosphere. Upon this realization, I specified my portfolio to focus on karma in college and for college students. With this specification, I am very happy with my portfolio now. As for looking forward to the rest of the semester, I want to continue to write stories that college students ca...

Looking through comments left for me along with the comments I left for other peers, I am pleased with both. I enjoy being able to read through other people's work and give feedback as it helps me realize what things I could be working on. I find it very helpful to suggest things they can add or ways to enhance their work. By doing this, it makes me think about my own work and think about ways I can enhance my own work. As for the comments left on my work, I really like having the opportunity to improve. So far I feel like all the comments left have been very positive and helped me grow as a creative writer. My favorite things to post on are the Intros because I feel like I am learning a lot my peers. I like to read all the comments left on the post and that helps me learn about all my peers even when I am just reading a certain person's intro. Looking forward, I want to make sure I thoroughly read through comments left on my intro and even reply to what I feel is necessary. I ...

As I look back onto my previous work in this class so far, I am pleased with the way my writing and creativity has progressed. I think my writing skills have progressed in the way that I am able to come up with plots and storylines better and more easier. I also have found that I have incorporated the use of more descriptive words and dialogue which is something I look for when I read other works. I am very happy with the way my blog has turned out. I have made some cosmetic changes to the layout, but overall, I am happy with content. For my website, I am thrilled with how my idea of karma has gotten more focused and specific to karma in college settings. I think my biggest accomplishment so far in class is my growth in my writing. I am able to be more creative and clearer with what I want to say. The Ramayana has been my favorite reading so far in the class, especially the novel version, because I enjoyed the storyline and all the underlying meanings that are obvious but also the unde...
