Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Overall, I would rate the quality of my feedback fairly high. I have been getting great comments about ways that I could clarify or make my stories better and I have also been getting detailed comments about why people like my stories or posts. I am finding the comments that give me suggestions for what else I could do to make my stories better very useful and I have been applying those comments to my stories as well.

I think that I would rate the comments that I have been leaving well. Every post I describe what I liked and enjoyed about it and specifically for story comments I leave comments about what I think would be helpful for the writer to clarify for the readers or what I think would be a good idea to add to the story. I have also gotten some great ideas from other people. For example, as I was looking through other people's portfolios I saw a portfolio with a title that I thought was fantastic! I was struggling trying to figure out what to title my portfolio or if I should stick with a common theme. I saw a portfolio that said that it was a collection of their favorite stories they have written for Indian Epics.

The introduction posts were really helpful with finding out what people are like. When I read people's story's I often go back to their introduction post to remember who exactly the person is. And if I haven't commented on their introduction post yet I make a mental note to go back and comment on that person's introduction post for extra credit. After reading back through my own introduction post I think I did a good job at describing who I am as a student and my interests but I think I could have probably added more fun facts about myself. One person in the class put together a bulleted list of fun facts and I really liked how they did that!

Looking forward I think I need to give more detailed comments about what I think would be good additions to their stories or even my own thoughts about the event or character my peer is writing about. I know it would help me to see what other people think about the topic I am writing on. Right now I am happy with the appearance of my blog but I think I need to play around with the appearance of my portfolio.


So far this is my favorite cat feedback meme. Feedback is a useful tool because it allows people to let you know what elements you might be missing or what elements you could expand on. Feedback has the potential to make good writing even better.

Introduction to a PR Student

Hi, my name is Chelsea Journee and I am from The Woodlands, Texas. The Woodlands is about 30 minutes north of Houston, Texas. My family and I have lived in the same house my entire life so it was a big change for me when I decided to go to college in a different state. I am currently a first semester senior (by hours) at OU. I am studying public relations and my minor is general business. On campus I am pretty involved. I am in a social sorority, I am an account manager for Lindsey + Asp (OU's student-run PR and ad agency) and I am also the treasurer for PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America). (Personal Photo: My sorority family) (Personal Photo: PRSSA executive leadership outside of Gaylord Hall) I enjoy lounging around with my dogs while watching Netflix in my free-time. My dog's names are Jasper and Snickers. Jasper is a miniature dashchund that loves to lay in anyone's lap and we don't really know what Snickers is because we rescued her...

Week 3 Story: The Encounter with the Beast

On a sunny and warm Sunday morning, Brothers Harry and Henry were taking a nice walk with Harry's wife in a neighborhood next to theirs. They talked and laughed like any family members would do on a leisure filled Sunday morning. In the distance Harry's wife noticed something weird. A patch in the sky was gloomy and black, unlike the sky all above them. Curiously, Harry, Henry and Harry's wife walked towards the direction of the dark patch in the sky. The weather became chilly and gave them all goose bumps. Something was off. It was as if sadness and death has taken over the area that was just under the dark sky. But the three were still intrigued so they continued to walk towards the dark sky. Suddenly there was a loud booming noise and out from a patch of trees a creature slowly emerged and its bright red eyes stared straight at them. "Don't move..." whispered Henry. "We need to run..." Harry whispered back. From the shock of seeing the...
