So far over the semester, I have thoroughly enjoyed this class. I really enjoyed reading the Ramayana and warmed up to the Mahabharata about halfway through, although I certainly prefer Rama's story. Taking notes while reading has helped my writing tremendously. I do tend to focus more on the story than the themes when reading and taking notes, so my stories aren't usually as creative as some of the other students in this class, but I've found that it works well for me.
My project is going...alright. I really like the topic and the opening I have chosen, but I'm still not positive on my implementation. I think I will figure a lot more out this week during the revision phase of the project.
My greatest accomplishment in writing has been the evolution of my writing. I have slowly incorporated dialogue into my stories, which I felt very uncomfortable with at first. Reading the stories of other students and writing my own stories has really helped me settle into a style.

I believe this is my favorite image posted so far. I like it because I feel that the story it is attached to is one of the better stories I have told and the image fits perfectly with the story.
Looking Forward: Looking forward, I would like to continue seeing my writing style evolve. Many of my stories have used the same tense, and all have used a first person point of view, so that's an area I could experiment with. As someone who was a bit anxious about a class based on story writing, I feel that I have already grown leaps and bounds in my writing ability. Being able to write in a different tense, from multiple points of view, and with or without dialogue would leave me with even more confidence than I have already gained this semester.
