Fiction Blog

Hey all!

So I've taken this blogging deal to a higher level with my creative writing. I've got another blog at callmewhit.blogspot.com which is all my fiction writing. I'm hoping to work on my MFA thesis (a full-length novel) on this blog, and you all should feel free to comment.


Thanks everyone for being my (network) friend. Hope all is well.

Familial Shakespeare: a review of Sara Castro's blog


Sara Castro's blog, See Shakespeare, offers background on Shakespeare's family life and how that transcends into his writing. She also analyzes how Shakespeare's familial writing in his plays carries through to today's society. This is my review of her blog:

  • Posts
    • Quantity
      • I think there are plenty of posts, and especially since you've still got posts you're planning on making. It's definitely sufficient.
    • Content
      • Media - You do a good job interspersing your blogs with images. It'd be interesting to see some more videos linked in just to change it up, but it's not necessary.
      • Analysis - I felt like this was probably where it may have more helpful to have had an evaluation next week instead of this week. I feel like you're just starting on your analysis for the most part. You spent so much time giving us back story on Shakespeare, which was interesting, but you rarely offered your own opinions. You started doing this in your post "Love, Lust and Companionate Marriage," but I felt like you could do it even sooner with the back story you've given us. There are many connections you could make, particularly with the thesis you've got going of Shakespeare's familial life serving as an example for us today through his plays and familial information in them.
    • Format
      • The format seemed fine to me. The (pre) hub post is helpfully constructed to know where you've been and where you're going.
  • Research
