I think that the readings will be interesting and hopefully useful for project ideas, and the project both terrifies and intrigues me. Writing stories every week sounds both fun and scary. I worry I'll have a hard time doing the actual writing, so I'll have to build in extra time for it in case I can't come up with an idea right away. It's probably also good that I started the course early, because that will give me a little extra time if I get behind on it. The blog comments and feedback don't really excite me, although I see how they can be really useful.
Out of the extra credit assignments, the ones I find most interesting from the descriptions are H.E.A.R.T. and Famous Last Words. They sound kind of fun, so I may have to make time for those. I'm also still curious to see how growth mindset can fit into my semester, so I will probably take a look at that as well.
Oh, that is such a cute cat meme, Angela! I am going to have to snag that for the reading files in class! And it is definitely true that creativity takes some creative energy; some weeks you will have more, some less... which is why there is all that extra credit. If/when a week comes and you just don't find a story coming together for you, it's not a big deal. You can just skip that week and if you're in need of points, it's easy to make up the points, no problem. One nice thing that happens is that you will be seeing other people's stories every week too...and one of the best ways to get ideas for your own stories is by seeing what other people are doing with theirs. Creativity is... contagious! :-)
