Indian Epics by Reid

Looking back I'm pretty happy with the work I've done so far! I'm definitely most proud of how my storybook is coming along and I can't wait to get more stories out there. My weekly routine could be better because it's unstable. Most of the time, I do the assignments while I'm at work as I work in an advising office, so I have time. Some days I don't have time at work to finish it and it throws me off. I'm looking to do more extra credit to catch up on what I've missed soon! Looking forward, I'm hoping I can get a better schedule down where I won't miss assignments. Eventually, I want to try writing in something other than prose, but that may come later on. For my website, I may change the formatting around so the pictures for the banners are better visible to the readers. ( cheezburger )

I'm hoping this helps them go back and think about why they made a decision in their post, or it could even solidify their decision. I do feel like I've gotten to know some people, especially with their introductions being paired to the posts we comment on. I like that if I'm interested in someone's post, I can quickly get around their blogs! To make my feedback more useful, I think I need to do more than just ask questions of the writers, but also go a b...

Looking back at what I've done so far in the class, it was interesting to see all the different topics I've covered in my stories. From little kids to adults to evil demons, I seem to have got it all! While I've missed a story here and there, the stories have been by far my favorite part. Writing them is always just so fun and stretches my mind in ways I haven't gotten to experience in a while. My biggest accomplishment has to be the first story for my storybook. Being able to tell an alternate history like that was a little harder than I expected. i didn't want characters to act too out of line, so making sure all the build up to the final events seemed realistic was a challenge. Getting it finished, I was very happy with how it turned out and I'm excited for more people to read it! So far, the Ramayana was my favorite reading was the Ramayana. Many of the characters I had heard about in passing, but not had the time to look into, so it was awesome to see w...
