Chapter Thirty Four: Week 8 Comments and Feedback

 I think that the feedback I’ve been getting personally is really good! I really like that there are different ideas because as one person with my own point of view, I don’t really know what other people are looking for, only what I’m would be looking for. I think the comments are substantial and incredibly helpful in bettering my writing.

The feedback I’ve been giving other people I think could maybe be a little better. The comments I’ve made lately have been my best attempt at giving feedback. I’m not the best writer, so I don’t really know what to look for in trying to better a story or anything along those lines. I just know when I’ve read something good and whether or not I liked it. More times than not, I like the story a lot and can’t find anything to make it “better” because the way it was written was great! I really am not the biggest fan of comments to make a project “better” because I don’t know what the author wanted to do with their piece. Maybe the way they wrote it is exactly how they wanted it written. 

I definitely think I get a sense of who people are based on what they write, and I really hope they see a little of who I am as well. If my project and stories say anything about me, I want them to say that I am someone who wants unheard voices heard, untold stories told, and injustices corrected. 

I have no problem with the comments I have received. I think they do a good job of telling me what others look for in a story but they also tell me that what I’ve written is creative and good. I like that because the comments are just suggestions. Once I want to write something different, I can utilize other people’s comments to create something new.

The infographic below is one I chose because I liked the message it had. It is something I try to base myself off of and live by.
