Myth and Folklore Blog

 Looking back I am happy with my progress so far, I think I am doing a good job expressing myself and using my work to be creative and come up with new things as well. I haven't done many extra credit options, but I have a feeling I may have to once things get busier with midterms and things like that. I have been attempting to change my blog and my storybook because I don't love how it looks, but I think that I can definitely do something to make it better.  Looking forward I am going to try and write better stories for this class, I feel like I am focusing a lot of my writing energy on Indian Epics because that is my portfolio assignment and I know I need better stories for that. That doesn't mean my Myth and Folklore stories don't need to be equally as fleshed out though.  I got this Gif from Giphy I think this is very self motivational because I am prompting myself to know that continuing to stay on top of my work is important!

However, this could just be because I am writing a storybook and so the people have nothing to comment on since I am not writing stories for it quite yet.    2. Feedback out . I think I am leaving decent comments for the other students, I am not sure what I can do better but I do want to give better advice on projects.    3. Blog comments .I do think that my introduction post is a good way to get to know me, I could maybe add more pictures and details about my personal life, but I think I am doing a pretty good job as it is.  4. Looking forward . I think I want to make more changes to my introduction maybe include pictures of stuff I have mentioned in my post? that could help.   5.

I am super proud of the work I have done for this class. I have tried to pick stories that are the most interesting to me and I think it has paid off. I feel as though I have really challenged myself with the storybook project and with the topics I have chosen from readings. I am not as happy with my layout of my blogs as I am with the Indian Epics blogs I have made. I am having a hard time formatting the websites in a way that I like for Myth and Folklore. I need to do a little bit more work for my storybook project I think, and I think I want to create my own drawings similar to the ones I have found online. I think that having my own drawings as graphics would elevate the experience. My favorite reading so far I think has been the Chinese fairytale unit because it was so fun and it felt like I was getting told some story in passing as a kid.  Image by  Cassie Tucker I chose this picture because I found it looking through cryptid maps, this drawing by Cassie Tucker is so fun...
