Looking Back: Reading and Writing

I have really enjoyed the reading and writing assignments this semester. I think these assignments are great for jumpstarting the brain of a writer. I actually love the idea of reading a short story and rewriting it like we do in this class, so much that I recommended the exercise to my entire family. 
Creating a blog is a great way to keep all of your writing in one place. I have enjoyed learning how to use blogging for writing in this class. I think this is a skill I will continue to use after I finish this class. The project website we created is also really cool. Creating a website is not something I have much experience with so this was something new for me. So far it has been a breeze!
I would say I am satisfied with my writing for the project and assignments. It's really nice to actually get some writing done! By this I mean I am really enjoying the structure of this class that requires me to actually write because for years I have wanted to write stories but felt like I haven't had the time. 
I think I would consider the stories I have written to be my biggest writing accomplishments in this class just because it feels so satisfying and inspiring to actually finish and submit pieces of writing. I have enjoyed all of the readings for this class. If I had to choose a favorite, I think I would pick the reading I have been doing for my project. I have been getting deep into Greek Myths, reading different versions of the same stories, and learning new things about my favorite mythological creatures. If that doesn't count I think I would have to go with the Cupid and Psyche reading because I really enjoyed that one. I definitely think the reading notes help, and this is another thing I have learned that I will continue to use after this class is over. 

Looking Forward:

Looking forward, I clearly need to manage my time better. Things got really chaotic for me the last few weeks and I started missing a lot of assignments. Now I'm way behind. I'm confident I will catch up, but I regret missing the assignments because of how much I enjoy this class. So, my goal for the second half of this semester is to spend more time in this class!

Introduction to A Crazy Cat Lady

Image
(Image Information: Cat Selfie) My name is Ann Marie.  Here are some facts about me: I am 19 and currently pursuing a dual degree in Linguistics and French at OU.  I love books, and consider myself a crazy cat lady.  I am passionate about women's rights and LGBTQ rights.  I work as a server in a restaurant, and though my job is mentally taxing, it can also be fun.   (Image Information: Books , 2010) Some of my favorite authors are J.K. Rowling (duh), Jane Austen, the Bronte Sisters, Cassandra Clare, and Rick Riordan. I've been especially into Rick Riordan lately! This summer, I decided to reread the Percy Jackson series. From there I could not stop. I have since read and reread every YA book he has out, and I am also following his Rick Riordan Presents imprint series, in which he reads and edits YA mythology books by other authors, and then adds them to the Rick Riordan Presents collection, allowing new or relatively unknown authors to be put in the spo

Week 9 Story: Alex, the Boy Who Stole Fox Power

(Image Information: Fox Face,  Flickr ) (Image Information: Fox Close Up,  Maxpixel ) Hello. My name is Alex and this is my story about fox power.  It was nearly forty years ago. I was a young boy, about thirteen. My family lived out in the country in the middle of nowhere, Oklahoma. My mother had always loved animals, and she was constantly adopting them because she couldn't stand to see them hungry. We had sheep, pigs, cats, dogs, rabbits, goats...you name it, and we probably kept it as a pet. The one creature we'd never cared for was foxes. Back then, there weren't many foxes in our part of the woods.  One day I'm out feeding and watering the animals, something I don't particularly like doing but have to do anyway. The pig has gone and knocked her water bin over, so I've gotta climb the fence to her pen and turn it over for her. I'm struggling in the mud, trying to right the dang thing. It's heavy, and my feet are slipping in the mud and
