Week 8 Reading and Writing

I think this course has helped me become better at thinking through my ideas and expressing them in a more presentable way. I'm alright with my blog and project website. I think if I had more time to dedicate to the class I would use it to dive a bit deeper into the customizations and really try to make it more unique. I think my writing overall tends to be a bit rambly and I have trouble staying on a topic and presenting a cohesive story. I think this is reflected in my first storybook story as I keep switching perspectives and styles. My favorite reading so far has been the voyages of Sindbad. He always gets os lucky and he seems to be pretty thankful to be alive. Reading notes definitely help me write the stories. I should probably take more detailed notes though as I feel like I forget a lot of information by the time I write the story.

Looking forward, I really need to work on my time management skills. I'm in my last semester and I really should have figured this out by now.

Sun Wu Kong's terrible rage and battle prowess was well known. They didn't know if even their own King could defeat him. "Hey!" bellowed the stone ape, "Give me back my kids!!" evidently he wanted to try negotiation first. Stammering, the Devil-King responded, "Wait don't you want to fight me?" He had not expected the legendary Sun Wu Kong to reason before using his brawn. "Of course, but I'm trying to control myself so they don't have to see your sorry state after I'm done with you." The Devil-King didn't even know how to react. He just stared in disbelief. "How could he be so ca...
