Feedback In: I'm finding all of the comments left for me very helpful, but I especially appreciate the ones that leave constructive criticism or ask questions. I want to use this class to grow in my creative writing abilities, so the ones that give me the chance to really look at what I wrote from a different point of view, or answer a question that didn't originally occur to me, are much appreciated.
Feedback Out: I have not given out a lot of feedback, something that I am going to change in the rest of the semester. Just from the comments left for me on the writing I've done, I can see how helpful feedback from other students can be, and I want to help others in the same way they've helped me.
Blog Comments: I feel as though my Introduction gives a pretty good picture of who I am, although reading through it I did notice that my writing tone is still a bit impersonal. Especially for a post like that, the intent was to let your personality shine through while sharing facts about yourself, and I don't think the tone of the Introduction post was accurate or completely aligned with my intentions. I did get that very personal vibes from reading a lot of other people's blogs, so I'll reread those and try to get a sense of how to make my own writing more personal.
Looking Forward: I definitely am going to be more intentional about participating in the Feedback assignments, because reading through all the feedback I've been given was both encouraging and helpful. Once I get a little better at writing creatively, I think I would like to go back and edit my Introduction post to seem more personal and convey who I am a little better. I also need to edit it, because I am no longer moving to St. Louis after graduation, and my life plans have shifted slightly.
I chose this image because it really resonated with me (kitten memes, right?). This semester has been quite difficult and facing graduation is both exhilarating and scary, so knowing that it's okay to fail is very comforting.
