Week 8 Comments and Feedback

I have gotten some really good comments on my project over the last couple of weeks. Some comments repeats or are answered in my author's note, but for the most part, I have been receiving mostly format and grammar suggestions. These help me to find mistakes I have made, and also serve to make my site more visually appealing.

I've noticed that rather than focus on things like typos, I have been giving advice about how well a story flows when I give feedback to others. I know that other people will point out any grammatical issues, so I have been attempting to provide some variety in my feedback and insight that the author may not get otherwise. By looking through other people's stories, I can absorb their word choice and imagery and play around with it and see if there are different ways for me to flesh out my own tales.

I'm pretty happy with my blog so far, and I feel I have put a lot of posts into it at this point. I still think my introduction does a decent job of summarizing myself and I kind of enjoy reading all the comments I get each week.

Perfection
This infographic is actually really good for the feedback process. It is super important to remember that nothing is perfect. When you are receiving feedback, this should always be present in your thoughts, as there will always be room for you to improve. The sooner you realize that you and your work aren't perfect, the sooner you can learn how to get better.

Introduction to the Rocket Scientist

As the title says, I am an aspiring rocket scientist. More precisely, I am Aerospace Engineering student. And that little descriptor about sums up my favorite things. I am in my final semester of college and absolutely cannot wait to graduate. I am more than ready to get into the work force and start building the future. To prepare for this future, I have done a lot of stuff in my college career. This includes, but is not limited to, building rockets, robots, and cleaning up asbestos. Don't worry, I'll explain more in a minute. Starting from the easiest thing on that list; robots. I am the vice-president of the Sooner Competitive Robotics here at OU. This means I get to be a technical adviser for each of the robotics teams and make that they have everything they need to succeed. I also get to help them when they mess up their robots, and cant get them to work right. Robots are great, but coding really kind of sucks, which is why I prefer to stick with my rockets an

Week 2 Story: The Alpaca and the Beasts

Image
In days long past, there was a great and prosperous kingdom suddenly ravaged by drought and hardship. The once green fields had turned brown, and beasts prowled the countryside. Farmers fled from their herds, leaving for the safety of the keeps. For the beasts, oxen were tough to hunt, as they banded together in large groups for protection. A lone beast watched the largest herd and had a great idea, he would have the oxen voluntarily come with him alone. "Friends!" Exclaimed the beast as he boldly approached the herd. "Why are you staying here where the grass has died? There lies a lush meadow on the far side of the forest." "Come no further beast. We know of your kinds hunger." Proclaimed the largest of the bulls. "And why would we go through that forest; it holds the den of your brothers." "I have no hunger for oxen, your meat is too tough. I think only of your well being. As for my brothers, I know a path upon which they wont
