Week 8 Comments and Feedback

I think that a lot of the feedback I am getting is pretty helpful. Of course, there is also a lot that isn't so helpful. I think the comments that pick out a specific detail and tell me how they as the reader felt were the most helpful.

I think my feedback to others has been a solid alright. I like to focus on specific aspects of others' stories and detail how they made me feel while reading them. That kind of feedback helps me the most so it is likely to help someone else at least a little bit. I definitely like to look at the styles of writing when reading other people's stories. That is one thing I want to do more of is experiment with styles.

I think that blog comments do an alright job of helping people get to know you. Of course, it is still in a bit of a superficial way since few people actually converse outside of the comments. And even in the comments there isn't a whole lot of interaction.

I think taking some more time to pick out specific details would make the feedback I am receiving more useful, and also the feedback I am giving more useful. I think I like my blog where it is at. I could maybe experiment with some UI and gadgets.

I chose this image because I think understanding why a mistake was made is the most important step in learning from a mistake. If you know why you made a mistake, you will know what situation you were in and what you were thinking when you made it. Which means you can learn to avoid it and do something differently in similar situations.

Introduction to a Hopeful Rocket Scientist

My name is Chris Weigel and I am a senior majoring in Aerospace Engineering. Initially, I came to OU wanting to be a Chemical Engineer. I have always enjoyed chemistry and still do to this day. Often my favorite parts of my classes are those that involve looking at the chemistry behind the mechanics. That being said, I switched to Aerospace because I realized how much I love aircraft and spacecraft. I am a member of the Boomer Rocket Team, an engineering competition team focused on building rockets for competition. Last year I helped build our rocket for the Spaceport America Cup which is an international competition. This was the team's first competition with more than 5 other teams competing. BRT Rocket Launching at Competition Courtesy of BRT Other than building rockets, I am an avid gamer. I probably play more video games than I should, but I'm having fun so I guess I don't really care. I primarily play Overwatch and Dota 2. I play a number of other games as

Week 7 Story - You'll Find Your Dreams at a Crossroads

It was nearing midnight, and though the moon shone full, it was still dark. Justin walked forward, tentatively, following an old path in the woods. He had heard the legends. The hushed whispers of the folk of the town he grew up in. That there was something that could give him anything he had ever wanted. Something unnatural. He heard the rumors: that you had to bring gifts – an offering of sorts. He had spent the last week meticulously gathering what he needed: a yarrow flower, a cat’s paw, human blood – your own blood. You’ll find your dreams at a crossroads. It was a phrase well recorded with the town. Every victim of an unsolved murder within the last hundred years in his town had the phrase carved into one of their arms. Granted, there weren’t many of them, but there were enough to make people wonder. The phrase repeated in his mind over and over. He grew nervous. The Crossroads Justin stopped. In front of him, the path split. A crossroads, he thought . He was the
