Week 8 Comments and Feedback

1. Feedback in. Overall, i think that the majority of the comments had helpful information about what needs work in my stories, but some just critiqued without providing any advice on how to fix it which isn't quite as helpful, but it is useful in improving my writing. I think the most useful ones tell me what is wrong, and a brief solution to the problem. 

2. Feedback Out. I think that my feedback and comments have been good. Sometimes it is hard to finding anything wrong with a perfectly written story, and I feel like i am just looking for something to complain about when its an excellent story. I always like to praise them on specific aspects of their story that I liked to show that I read the entire story and that I genuinely enjoyed it. I have learned a lot about different story telling techniques while reading other stories and have used many of the similar elements in my stories. 

3. Blog comments. I do feel like I have gotten to know many of my classmates through their blog posts. I think that I am happy with my introduction as it sums up my life without boring the reader. 

4. Looking forward. I think that I need to reread the stories before being able to give detailed, and more helpful feedback on improving their story. I would like to keep a trend of mysterious, and spooky stories on my blog as I really like how the theme introduces the various stories I have posted. 

5. Image. I chose this image because it reflects my entire college career and my experience in this course. I feel like I am always making mistakes and trying to figure out what I did wrong and how to fix it.

Week 3 Story: The Land of the Cyclopes

Image
Cyclopes Shark Odyssey: The Land of the Cyclopes You probably believe that the Cyclopes look similar to humans, but are much bigger and have a third eye in the middle of their forehead. However, you are very wrong to think this. In Cyclopes Island east of the candy cane forest and north of the rock candy mountains, there are many species of cyclopes. There are bird cyclopes, with there 3 eyes and gigantic size. Most notable would be the cyclopes raven, blessed with the ability of 2nd sight, he is able to out maneuver large predators and have easy access to the island abundant food source of cyclopes mice. The most fearsome predator that lives on this island, is by far the Cyclopes Shark. This beast has only one eye in the middle of its pointy, brutish face. This monstrosity feeds on any that dare to venture out into Cyclopes Loch and its adjacent pools. The island flourishes year round as there is only one season.
