Week 8 Progress

So far I am proud of the work I have put worth in this class. Something I know I could be better about is consistently writing a story every Thursday. There are oftentimes where I will skip it and just do extra commenting instead. As far as the work load goes I have stayed pretty consistent with doing about an hours worth of work each day like I planned out. I have been doing a couple extra credit assignments here and there. As of now through the half way point I have half of what I need to get an A in this course so I am very happy about that. Moving forward I need to focus on my portfolio a lot more and constantly put time into my stories for it.  Photo from CNN https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/17/health/motivation-tips-wellness/index.html

For example some webpages have been kind of bland, or the set up is hard to handle as a viewer. When commenting on others work I think we get to know a little bit about each other, but not entirely. It is just not the same when everything is online, the face to face interaction is hard to replace. Though the introduction blog ...

Week 8 Reading and Writing

 So far this class has been going fairly well for me. I enjoy exploring new topics and writing about things that I truly care about. The area I am having troubles with is creating stories based off of other pieces of work. I am going to try and combat this by working through my portfolio exploring all ideas even if they are out of my comfort zone. I would say some of my biggest accomplishments for this class was my first writing assignment. I truly cared about what I was writing about and it did not seem like work, but instead a release from the crazy world we live in. I have discovered genres I may not have such as certain religions or beliefs which has been fun getting to see things in a different perspective.  Looking forward I hope to take my writing to the next level and complete my portfolio for this class! I would also like to branch out of my comfort zone and write about things that I may normally not think to write about.  I selected this imagine because it comes...
