In the beginning of the semester I had blogged very little and had not written creatively in like five or six years. I was a little rusty in the beginning but I think I have gotten in the swing of things finally. I am happy with how the blog looks and is laid out. I am also pleased with the writing and content in the blog posts and storybook.      The class assignment that I enjoy most are the storytelling posts and the storybook posts. I do not enjoy the notes assignments much because it is simply reflection of what I have read. This class gives me a creative outlet and I really enjoy coming up with my own, original stories.

I really appreciate the feedback, especially for my storybook. I feel as though the storybook is a very important part of the semester and I want it to be something that I am very proud of.

Firstly, I try to comment on the things that I see them doing really well. Then, point out some things I have noticed that could be better with a few tweaks. Finally, I try and give them some alternatives or what ifs to implement if they think it would work well. I try a...

I have played around with the theme, colors, fonts, and styles of my blog in the previous weeks. The overall look of my blog is one that I am very happy with. Each week the reading assignments are my least favorite but I understand that we have to have something to base our stories off of. The storytelling assignments are my favorite. I have never had a class that allowed me to be so creative and explore creative writing like this class. One of the biggest accomplishments I have achieved so far is improving my writing. I really think that I have learned a few tricks that have helped my writing improve as the semester has progressed.       One thing I am unhappy with is Uloopi's story in my storybook. I was really pressed for time when writing it and was not very creative. It was more a r...
