This is one of the first classes I have had where I
consistently give and receive feedback on a weekly basis. It is kind of a new experience for me, but
one that I have slowly come to appreciate.
The feedback I have received is normally kind of generic, in that it
praises me for the things I have written and makes one comment or so that is
relevant to whatever I have actually posted.
It is nice, but I don’t know if it makes a difference in my actual
writing.
Unfortunately, I think I fall into the exact same trap as
the people who comment on my own work. I
normally do the exact same thing, in that I write something nice about what they
have posted and give some small commentary, which is never a critique, on the
story they have written. However, I
still find these to be very useful experiences for me, because I get to see
what other people are writing and get inspired for my own writing. So even though the feedback itself may not be
the best, the process is very helpful.
I think I am slowly getting to know people better based off
of their blog comments, but due to the random nature of the comment-making, it
is hard to feel like I am really connected with them. I more feel like I am jumping from one to
another. In order to improve this, I
suppose I could make more of an effort to maybe read someone’s introduction
post first, in order to remind myself of who they are.
