Week 8 Comments and Feedback

My comments in have been overall pretty awesome. I find it useful when I can tell that people are enjoying my stories. I was also made aware that I need more Persona info in my author's notes, which I hadn't given a lot of thought to. It's hard to give enough background in such a small space, but I am working to improve that.

I work hard to give good quality feedback that is hopefully useful. Unfortunately on my busier weeks I have chosen to skip the commenting assignments. It's also hard to get to them since I am a week ahead of most people and we aren't working on the same things. I haven't really gotten any ideas for my own work, but I do find it interesting to look at what kind of storybooks my classmates are working on. Some of them are really fun!

I feel like I've connected pretty well with others on the blogs. Again, sometimes I don't comment. I try to respond to as many of the comments others leave for me when I can, to let them know I appreciate their thoughts, or answer a question they had. I think my introduction is serving its purpose fairly well.

Looking forward, I think my goals are making time to do more of the feedback assignments and making sure I post useful comments. At this point I am pretty happy with my blog.

I chose this feedback cat because this is the type of feedback that I find useful, the kind where someone's thoughts make me think about my story all over again and consider if I want to revise it or not. I won't always change things, but if someone has a great idea that makes me think about my stories in a different way, I think that's super helpful to improving my writing.
