Writing Reflection # 9

Well at this point I actually have 50 tweets and I consider my story finished. I had a random day of inspiration and finished all in one day. I really liked writing twitter fictions. I’m a very long winded person so writing with the character restraint was actually a very enjoyable challenge.

Since I do write my own novels I did know the dialog rules and formatting already thanks to some of my fans on fanfiction telling me to make my fanfics easier to read. Though my story does have distinct sections I didn’t feel the need to break it into chapters.

Since I typed out my twitter fic right off the bat so I would have an easier time keeping track of my character count I don’t have the rough story boards and there for can’t post a picture of them.

As I previously said I’m finished, I have 50/30 tweets. My story is pretty emotional but I find telling depressing stories makes me more creative.

My story is an extended story, I do like short poetry but I find I’m better at longer fictions and I’m surprised mine isn’t longer than it is.

I don’t have any elements left; I actually got lucky with the character development though. I accidently put in character development without knowing what is was.

I have three images to put into my twitter fictions, all of which I took myself. I found that I was having a really easy time being descriptive in this story although do to the character limit I do feel that I’m lacking detail in some areas; but that might just be me.

Anyway thank you for reading, please check out my twitter fiction when it comes out in a couple weeks.

Writing Reflection #6

Well I am currently using my blog to promote my business. I have a few posts referencing Kanpekina Designs. Also the blogs are good for professionally showing off our work. I like having somewhere to post my thoughts and ask questions to other students. I also enjoy looking over my classmates work when I don’t understand an assignment because I find looking at examples helps me understand.

(I realize I’m doing this reflection a little late and I apologize but I don’t remember where I commented.)

When I leave comments I chose post that capture my attention or make me ask a question. I love learning new things and talking to other students normally provides me with some new and interesting information.

A good comment is something that actually engages the recipient, such as a question or some constructive criticism.

A bad comment is just something you say that doesn’t help the recipient at all. Something like just saying good job or nice pics without telling them why you like it would be a good example.

Some benefits of commenting on others blogs are starting conversations or having your questions answer by someone at you level or maybe even ahead of you.

The benefits of having people comment on your posts are similar. You start get to have conversations, but what I like better about receiving comments is getting someone elses opinion or feedback on my work; nothing better than a little constructive criticism.

 Anyway thanks for reading and I’m sorry this one took so long.
