JLE#30: Week 8 Progress

 Week 8 Progress  Photo by Michael Block from Pexels I am happy with my progress so far, but I need to get into a better habit of not falling behind.  Week 4/5 really set me back and I have been playing catch up ever since.  I am waiting for the break in week 10 so that I can do the extra credit for that week and perhaps even progress further in the course.  I am most proud of the writing and reading that I have done.  Usually, I do not read anything like the stories we have read in this class, so it is a good change in pace for me.  I also think my writing has improved in regard to creativity since the beginning of the course.  I started off with a good weekly routine, but the setback in weeks 4 and 5 have deterred me from that routine.  I am not familiar with blogging or anything like that, so it has taken some getting used to.  I have yet to edit my website and blog to make them both look a little nicer because I have been trying to k...

JLE#28: Reading and Writing

 Reading and Writing Photo by Walid Ahmad from Pexels   My favorite photo so far The reading and writing assignments are working for me.  More so the reading than the writing, but that is because I personally have never been too fond of writing.  The options we get to pick from are bountiful and usually I find several stories within a unit of reading that I really enjoy.  Before taking this class, I was decently familiar with some folklore stories and I have since expanded my knowledge of such because of the readings.  The writing is ok for me and I know I have become more comfortable in terms of creativity since starting this course.  We still have plenty more stories to write so I look forward to developing further as writer as we go along.  I am happy with how my portfolio and blog look.  I wish to add another story to my portfolio soon because I ended up writing one that I thought was better than the first one I published.  I think m...
