Week 8 comments and feedback




Feeback in

The feedback I have been receiving is pretty spread out. I've seen some posts where people comment on grammar, plot, or word choice. Some of them are really really good, and they provide me with ideas for future stories or help me fix the current ones. The ones I find most useful have to be the ones dealing with grammar. I'm not a writer, and I never have been, so my grammar is not the best and it may make my writing messy or hard to understand. The feedback that helps correct my grammar helps me avoid confusing paragraphs.

Feedback out

I'd have to admit that the feedback I leave isn't as good as the ones I receive. If there's part in the story where I get confused I'll let the writer know, but other than that all I really do is compliment the parts that I liked a lot. I prefer the WWW strategy because it makes me think of wonder and what if, otherwise I would just leave wow's. Some of the stories I've read are pretty good, but I don't take elements from theirs to add to mine. I strive to be as original as I can be in order to force myself to think more creatively.

Blog comments

I'm not really the kind of person that interacts a lot through social media or the internet so it takes a lot more for me to feel like I'm getting to know someone than just read their intro or comments. I'm happy with my intro, I think it highlights more of the important stuff that I'm more proud of.

Looking forward

I think the feedback assignments are really helpful for me because I need all the help I can get. Like I said earlier some of the comments I receive allow me to get a sense of what people are easily understanding or aren't. That helps me avoid making those mistakes in future stories. In order for me to make my comments more helpful for others I think I'll just need to find ways to think more critically?

Introduction

My name is Jose Juan Ruiz Macias Jr. I am the son of Jose Juan Macias Ruiz and Irma Liliana Ruiz Ramos. Both are Mexican immigrants that came to the USA in 1997. I was born that same year in the small town of Sun Valley, Idaho. I spent my first year of life there. My dad wasn't a big fan of the cold weather, so we moved to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where he previously lived for a couple of years with his older brothers. I grew up in the south side of OKC next to OCCC. I attended Western Heights High School and graduated in the top ten percent with distinguished honors. I also played soccer and ran cross-country from sophomore to senior year. I came to OU as an undecided major, pursuing a career in pharmacy. After two years, I changed majors to chemical bioscience, and now I am in the process of applying to grad schools to obtain a PhD.D. I am not exactly sure what I want to study. I've looked at several programs including biochemistry, molecular biology, pathology, and genetic

Image from  https://www.pinterest.com/pin/164944405087963930/?autologin=true It was a stormy and lonely Thursday evening at the diner, a man with great white hair and a face worn down by years walks in and sits at the counter. He wore a long grey coat over his wrangler jeans and button-up shirt. The waitress could tell he was troubled. Man: "I'll take a coffee, please." His voice was so deep and robust it imitated the thunder from the storm outside. Waitress: "Sure thing, hun, any dinner or  slice of pie for you tonight?" Man: "No thank you." The waitress quickly brewed up a fresh batch of steaming hot coffee. The earthy aroma filled the diner. Waitress: "Here you go hun. Sugar or creamer?" Man: "Please." The waitress grabbed a couple packets of each and placed them by the man's cup. He slowly added them to his drink while he waited for the coffee to cool. Waitress: "So what
