Week 8 Comments and Feedback

 The commenting in this class is a mixed bag. Sometimes I get nonsense comments and other times I get detailed comments that help me develop as a writer. I find the comments most useful contain detailed information about what they did or didn't like, and how it specifically made the story better in the readers eyes. As far as comments I leave, I do try to do my best but sometimes with what I'm given I cant do a great job. Whether it is an uninteresting or to short of a story, these things limit my commenting ability so that I am forced to leave almost gibberish. On the stories that have sufficient content the feedback strategies definitely help. They help me focus in on what I specifically like or didn't like in a story and explain why. 

As for the sense of community, this is just like social media. The comments I receive on my stories and post do bring a sense of happiness for a quick moment, but these quickly fade leaving you wanting more. I do not get a sense of building relationships with others, but that is just me. Looking forward, I would like to see others, including myself, read the story carefully, because it is devastating to read in the comments about how the reader became lost, plot or detail, in the story. Only to comment about that not knowing it is already in the story.

I chose this image because it is important as a reader and as a writer to be surprised. To hear others perspectives that surprise me enable me to grow.

     My name throughout this semester will be DKNK, it stands for Drift King in reference to Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift and the NK is my initials. I am a senior in the MIS program at Oklahoma University, and will graduate in Spring 2021 after a hard fought journey of five years in college. I am super excited to graduate in order to pursue my hobbies more freely. My Favorite hobbies are cars, computers, and video games.       I have a huge passion for cars and car cultures from around the world. My favorite car scenes are lowriders, bagged or hydraulics, and Japans' car scene. Japans' car scene is probably the most unique car scene in the world, the love to light up their cars with LEDs along with crazy paint and other various mods. I also have taken up a love for classic cars, my favorite design area is the late fifties and sixties. My first car purchase out of college will hopefully be a sixty two or sixty three Lincoln Continental. As of currently I have a lowered Silver

Week 7 Story: The Eyes Deceive

Image
There once was a great hero of the village that lived in solitude named Batman. He was a handsome and wealthy man that lived in a sprawling mansion. Next door lived Joker who was Batman's best friend. Joker lived in a small shack and had very little in means of possessions. Joker called Batman on the morning of the village farmers market to ask if he would accompany him. Batman obliged and met joker at the intersection to their two houses. Batman appeared in a purple Lamborghini Aventador dressed in a matching purple suit. Joker got in the Lamborghini wearing clothes that resembled Kanye's clothing line with holes and stains all around them, although they were free. As they departed Joker expressed sorrow in his life and his wish for a life as grand as Batman's. Batman sympathized with Joker and told him he would fulfill his wish for a day.
