Looking back at all of my blogs, I feel like I have begun to find the best note taking methods for myself. I began by listing out the events of the stories, almost verbatim. This did not help me gather my thoughts and arrange ideas on how I could shape the stories myself. I have begun to take notes in a more natural way. As I am reading, any connection I draw or concept I come up with I immediately write down so I won't forget. My notes tend to be sporadic, but it works for me! My favorite story this far has either been "Sita's Story" or "The House of Fire." The reason I like these is because I have begun to find my capabilities as a writer and my language begins to show through in these stories. My greatest accomplishment has been hearing in my comments that readers can visualize the setting!

I love this picture because it is a depiction of one of my favorite stories we have read so far. The Story of Rama and Sita is such a roller coaster and I have loved to rewrite their story.
Looking forward, I am excited for hearing the feedback that I get from both students and instructor alike. I have received so many helpful comments this far and I look forward to seeing how I can improve my stories further.
