Final Blog

Well overall I can honestly say I have enjoyed this class and will miss it. I think I have been pretty honest up to this point and do not have to be mushy or gushy just for a grade, I really did enjoy everyone's feedback and point of views at times and it was a very interesting dynamic I had never experienced before. I think just honestly getting back 7 or so feed backs was just the most helpful in general because you are getting so many new ideas on what to fix and how to expand that you can take what you like from the workshop and apply it. I am also glad to see some people, despite what most of the class said to change, still stayed true to their writing and vision of their story. We all had a story to tell and we just figured out new and better ways of doing it. I think I was pretty honest and tried to be as constructive as I could. I do not think I was ever harsh but that could not be someone else's opinion. I honestly tried to analyze the stories I read in the most outside perspective I could and stray away from the grammatical errors some people fixated on and concentrated more on logic, story and character depth, and originality/creativity. I do not have any plans to become any kind of writer still however but I will now be much more critical when reading books and novels haha.
