Week 8 Reading and Writing

This an illustration from Sita Sings the Blues. I liked these images because of the picture quality and animation style. It also gives us a good illustration of the characters of the Ramayana.

Looking back at my reading and writing, I wish I had more time to complete the writing and stick to my schedule. I enjoy the reading, but I have not completed some of the writings. It's sometimes really hard for me to write up a story because I find a little difficult to get them started. If I don't have a good idea for the story, I end up procrastinating until there is no time to finish it. Looking through the storytelling ideas article has really help me.

I am really happy with my blog and the project website. I don't see me changing many things in the future for them. I'm satisfied with the writing for the project. The theme of the Chiranjivi is really interesting, and I look forward to where the stories are going to take me.

My favorite readings so far are the Jataka Anthology and the Ramayana. I think one of the biggest accomplishments for me is just creative writing. I've never done creative writing before, so it is a bit challenging and different from the kinds of writing I'm used to.

My goals for the coming weeks is to catch up with my progress in the class. The extra credit assignments will help a lot. Stick to my schedule, and try to get a little bit ahead.
