Epics of India

 Famous Last Words The past week I managed to do some very good reading for this class and I was able to find enough time to do all of it even though this last week was one of my busier weeks. The readings I chose were pretty interesting and I am glad I got to go through and pick the ones I wanted to read. I do really like the story lab option as well because it gives us a lot of different options to write about. I was able to finish up my revisions to my story and it had a lot of revisions but the end product turned out pretty good in my opinion. I like the various styles we are able to write in because I was able to find my favorite through trial and error. My other classes are going pretty well. I had two tests and a final presentation this last week that I finished up and I have never felt more relieved to finally be done with them. There's only two weeks left of school and it is starting to get pretty stressful with graduation coming up and then I also need to take two summer ...

 Tech Tip I for one think the canvas gradebook is very easy to read. Everything is in order and easily labeled so you know where everything is. They do have a point system, but sometimes not everything gets weighted correctly so you have to watch out for that. It shows the due dates of when everything is due. Overall, canvas gradebook system is really easy to use.

 Writer's Advice Some notes I have taken away from these articles is art needs to be adventurous and spontaneous. It can make a very big impact if your story is unpredictable and your characters can be relatable. Capturing each and every moment can lead to a big revelation and make for a bigger moment. You want to make your readers feel like they are in the story themselves and after they have read it, they felt the trauma, or the heartbreak, or the happiness because they felt like they were a part of the story themselves. One of the best ways to get readers involved is by painting such a detailed picture in their minds just by using the proper dictation of words to really move them and see what you see. The most important note I captured by reading was to stay true to yourself. Write from your heart and not what other people may like. If you write with your own creative mind and see how you think your writing should be, it is likely other people will enjoy it because you are makin...
