Thoughts about Comments

The comments on my blog have been one of the best parts of this class. I get to meet so many new people who share many similarities with me. It has been an absolute blast getting to know all about my peers in this class. My introduction post comments are always so sweet and welcoming. I get compliments, comments about something sports-related, and interest in my background. All these different kinds of feedback really make me feel so welcomed! The comments on my stories have been both extremely sweet and helpful. I get encouragement from my peers to keep doing what I am doing in terms of writing style. They also leave helpful suggestions on how to possibly expand or improve my story. All the comments are very much appreciated as I think they can help me become a better writer. The comments that are most memorable to me are the ones that are either extremely supportive or have some humor in them! They are so fun to read and really make my day. I think what makes a good comment is being honest, positive, and a being a little funny. Everyone loves a good laugh!

I appreciate each and every person's comment on my blog. It keeps me in good spirits to continue writing and posting!!

I have tried to comment well on other people's posts as well. I try to be as positive and supportive as I can be. If I have a suggestion, I make sure to phrase it in a way that allows it to be taken as constructive feedback and not some insult. I need to perhaps improve on not being afraid to provide optional suggestions to people. I could present it in a way that allows someone to consider it without feeling that they are being criticized in any way. There are so many talented writers in this class so I've absolutely loved having the opportunity to see my peers' work and replying to their posts!
