Week 8 Comments and Feedback

comments I have recieved have been kind and often helpful. I like reading what other students have felt about my stories. I also love to see people responding to my introduction and enjoying the pictures of my dogs. Many student have left very helpful feedback that encourages me to expand on my stories.

Sometimes I feel my feedback is useless. I often tell students how I enjoyed their stories and what I had hoped to see more of. Sometimes it’s hard to critically analyze ofher students work and to point them in a direction they may be respondsnt to.

I really enjoy reading other blogs, specifically introductions. I have seen some cool storybooks and some good stories in other student’s portfolios that encourage me to try harder in this course, I just often don’t have the time to fine tune and polish all of my posts. I do think every blog has a personality, just as mine reflects the simplicity I like in my life.

I think I should actually enact some of the advice I’ve been give on my portfolio stories, it’s helpful to see where people wanted to see the story grow, so maybe focusing on that in the future on top of revisions would be great. I like both my comment wall and my introduction, so I will leave them as they are!

Introduction to a Horror Movie Lover

Hello everyone, my name is Callie Simonton. I'm a Film and Media studies major currently in my final semester at the University of Oklahoma. I love movies, specifically horror movies.

Maybe it's due to the fact that I grew up with them and find even the low budget and cult movies to be an enjoyable experience. Something about the idea of the extensive makeup effects and the creation of paranormal and otherworldly monsters make my interests in horror films even worse. Favorites? The Saw series, those films are just so mind bending and fun to watch. I took a few Horror classes over the last few semesters and I enjoyed every single bit of them. With that in mind, in the future I'm hoping to make or take part in making some horror films as a career. I live with a few roommates in Norman, one of those being my little brother. I have two dogs, both of them are pomskys (Pomeranian ...

Week 7 Story: Adventure Amongst the Clouds

Ari desired more than what his life currently entailed. He wanted to live it to it’s fullest. Ari was a simple man, but being simple wasn’t enough. One day, he saught his fortune from a local psychic, who in turned told him to travel to the mountains and honor the gods to find his destiny. Ari prepared a large backpack and some humble meals for the long travel. He already was a religious man, so he had easily packed all his praying equipment. So began Ari’s long journey up the mountainside. Every morning he would pray and meditate for 3 hours, he’d brought offerings, enough for every day he woke up in the mountains. It was one morning when Ari was meditating when he heard an animal approaching. It was a boar, with anger in it’s eyes and an intent to kill. Ari looking longingly at the boar, it had been a while since he’d had a decent meal, and his offerings to the god during his morning rituals were diminishing. A boar would be a feed him and his praying for the days to come. S...
