Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Todo Sobre: Feedback

I really appreciate the positive feedback that I am receiving, especially the detailed ones that point out exactly what they enjoyed in my work. It is important to me to be able to identify the things I am doing correctly because as a writer it can be hard to judge your own work accurately since I cannot see things in a broader sense like a reader can. My eyes get drawn to certain places, things I am unhappy with, so it is important to me to be reminded that my work is composed of more than just the parts that I am unsure about.


I try my best to compose my own feedback with positive and negative or critical feedback. Since I normally work with other writers, like in my creative writing classes, I sometimes forget that not everyone knows all the rules or the helpful tips that my teachers have taught. I also find it really interesting the things that my classmates pick up on, focusing more on the types of things that I am doing well as opposed to issues within the work.

    Hi Lauren,

    I could not agree more with your comments on the feedback. I love receiving detailed feedback from my peers. It really helps me with my revising process to make my stories better. I also need to work more on my feedback. I feel like I could get better at giving feedback to others. Best of luck for the rest of the semester!

Introduction of The Ridiculous Goose

Personal Photo: Me as  Little Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe , Halloween 2010 Hello, welcome to the Ridiculous Goose blog for Indian Epics!  My name is Lauren Skaggs and this is my third year at OU but I am going to graduate this Spring 2019.  I was born and raised in Oklahoma City, however, I would call Muskogee my home because that is where my family originates from.  My parents still live in Oklahoma City, with our two dogs: Zander and Ginger. Personal Photo: Zander Personal Photo: Ginger I have a twin brother and his name is Braden.  Most people will ask the typical questions like if we are identical or telepathic, but we are as different as a flamingo versus a reindeer.  Braden is 6'1" and I am 5'3"; his hair is dark brown and mine is strawberry blonde.  Although we look very different, we are close and these days we spend our time working together to drive our mom crazy.  It has always been just us, with the exception of friends and cousins

Week 7 Story: The Pandavas Gang

Image
Author’s Note: This story is based on the Mahabharata, taking place in The Himalayas . I have changed the story by placing it in the twenty-first century and turning the  Pandavas  into the Pandavas Gang.   The five brothers are the leaders of the Pandavas.   Their cousins and a rival gang, the Kauravas, claim they deserve to take over the streets (instead of the throne as in the Mahabharata) of the city Hastinapura in the kingdom of Kuru.  The Pandavas disagree...   This all leads to the events in The Himalayas story.   I also took some liberties in the build-up to the story. The Pandavas Gang  The Pandavas brothers could hardly remember a time without each other.   Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadeva could always count on the knowledge that their brothers were nearby, for they felt as if they were one.   They ate, slept, and fought together.   The brothers had the same friends, and they also had the same enemies.   It had been natural to take charge of their father
