Week 8 Comments and Feedback
What I've noticed about the feedback that I have received on my stories is that it is largely mechanics related. Oftentimes, there will be a slight grammatical mistake that I may not catch on my proofreading. This isn't a huge deal but can really take the reader out of immersion. I think I need to just start proofreading twice to try to catch these things.
I try to provide helpful and encouraging feedback, definitely focusing on a what-if style. For me, I find myself pinpointing what exactly I liked about the story and expressing that t the author. Then, I will ask questions or make suggestions on how the story can be expanded further in that area.
I definitely feel that I have gotten to know people in this class through their blog posts! Whether that be by teaching me about their heritage or expressing one of their hobbies in a story, there is certainly a sense of familiarity from reading people's stories throughout the weeks after reading their introduction.
Moving forward, I want to make sure that I am able to comment on each classmate's blog, storybook, or portfolio at least once. That way, I'll have an idea of what everybody has done. However, there have been a lot of projects that have really caught my interest that I want to stick with and see how they pan out.

I like this Feedback Cat a lot because it describes my general sentiment for this class. Not once have I felt discouraged about writing a story, and all feedback has been a push to make me actually want to improve my writing! That is definitely an environment where creativity can flourish.
